METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The study used a descriptive research design since the study intended to accumulate quantitative information on factors affecting revenue collection in county governments in Kenya. According to Sekaran (2006), descriptive research design is non-exploratory in that it manages the connections between non-controlled variables in a characteristic as opposed to lab setting. Since the occasions or conditions have already happened, the researcher chose the significant variables for an analysis of their connections. The study considered this design appropriate since it supports application of stratified random sampling technique to obtain information from few respondents in order to have a general view of revenue collection in county governments in Kenya.
