Kenya’s income from sources other than tax more than doubled in the first quarter of this financial year (FY) compared to a similar period in the FY2018/2019.

This is as tax revenue fell 14.6 per cent, attributed to the hit by the Covid-19 pandemic that plunged Kenya into recession levels last seen 60 years ago.
