Elgeyo Marakwet ‘the only Tax-Compliant County in Rift Valley

Officials from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) yesterday heaped praises on Elgeyo Marakwet County for bringing the only County in the entire Rift Valley to fully tax compliant.

According to officers who paid a visit to Governor Alex Tolgos, the devolved unit beat 14 other counties in the region just by remitting all its taxes.

The KRA officers were visiting the County as part of activities to mark their Tax Collection month and wanted to work with Elgeyo Marakwet to bring other counties up to speed.

Elgeyo Marakwet interestingly received the second-lowest budgetary allocation from the government treasury out of all the Counties in Kenya.
