Counties lost nearly Sh2 billion in projected revenue collection in the three months preceding the October 2017 repeat presidential polls, the Controller of Budget has said.

According to a report by Ms Agnes Odhiambo's office, only four counties improved their collections between July and September 2017 compared to a similar period in 2016.
