Embu loses Sh46 million equitable share due to revenue shortfall

Embu County Assembly

The County Assembly’s Budget and Appropriations Committee has expressed concern over slashing of Sh46.3 million from the budget due to poor revenue collection.

Committee chair Robert Ireri said the county had not met revenue collection target. He regretted that this is hurting the county economically and called for speedy action to remedy the situation.

“I wonder why Embu is not in the league of Makueni, Laikipia, Baringo and Samburu counties which have surpassed their revenue targets,” he said.
