Patients in public hospitals and matatu operators are among those who will be hard hit as the county of Siaya introduces new taxes while increasing some of the existing ones as Governor James Orengo seeks to raise Sh600 million in local revenue this financial year.
The governor is also seeking to raise property rates as he seeks to achieve his Own Source Revenue (OSR) in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
