Some of the achievements that the sector realized during the last plan period include; Establishment and operationalization of Kakamega County Revenue Agency (KCRA) and Kakamega County Investment and Development Agency (KCIDA), Operationalization of a cashless revenue collection system (e-revenue collection) through KCRA has increased own source revenue collection, establishment of the Sub-county treasuries which has decentralized financial services, operationalized e-Procurement system and achieved 95% payments through IFMIS thus enhanced accountability and transparency. The department through KCIDA has also been able to prepare investment promotion materials which has attracted private sector investment and led to signing various MoUs with institutions promoting investments in Kenya.
