Members of County Assembly during the approval of 2026 finance bill.[ Benard Lusigi-Standard]
The Kakamega County Assembly has approved the Kakamega County Finance Bill, 2026, clearing the way for the county government to implement new tax and revenue measures aimed at raising Sh2.2 billion in own-source revenue during the 2026/2027 financial year.
The Bill introduces a raft of tax policy and administrative reforms intended to strengthen revenue mobilisation, formalise emerging sectors of the county economy and improve tax administration in line with the Medium-Term Revenue Strategy (MTRS).
It also provides the legal framework for the collection of county taxes, fees, charges and levies that will finance development programmes and improve service delivery.
