An investor opening a supermarket on a premise measuring just over 3,000
square metres pays nearly double for a business permit in Migori compared
to Nairobi, underlining the appetite by counties to generate own revenue.

Data released on Wednesday by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA)
based on the latest county revenue laws, shows that annual single business
permit for 3,001 square metre hyper supermarket costs an investor in Migori
Sh150,000 annually. This is 87.5 per cent more than the Sh80,000 one pays
in annual fee for a permit for the same business and space in Nairobi, data
in the Integrated Devolution Data Portal indicates.

The portal was launched in partnership with the Kenya Association of
Manufacturers (KAM) with technical help from the European Union.
