Enhanced Own-Source Revenue (OSR) is vital for improving local services and development. It allows the county to fund key projects like healthcare, education, and infrastructure independently, leading to better, more timely initiatives that meet local needs.
Higher OSR also boosts the county’s financial autonomy, promoting sustainable growth and reducing reliance on national funding.
