collection. The third objective focuses on assessing the enforcement strategies used for
revenue collection, whilst the final objective is to establish how accountability strategies
impact revenue collection. The study was guided by the following theories; the governance

three strata, 200 revenue clerks, 70 senior revenue officer and 114 border business
community. The sample size for this study was 196 using Yamane's formula. According to
Yamane’s formula, a target population of 384 was used with a 95% confidence level and a
5% margin of error. Stratified random sampling was used and the participants were selected
randomly from each stratum. Data was collected using face to face interviews with selected
respondents, and designing a structured questionnaire to gather information on the study
variables. The data collection procedures for this study involved, identifying and contacting
the relevant county revenue collection agencies and stakeholders in Moyale Sub-County and
obtaining permission and clearance to conduct the study from the relevant authorities. A
quantitative assessment was conducted using both descriptive and inferential methods of
analysis. To facilitate data description and presentation through means, tables, charts,
percentages, and other measures of central tendency, we employed the Statistical Package
for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Karl Pearson's correlation coefficient was used in this
research to gauge the degree of association between the variables. This approach made it
simpler to estimate the relationship strength among the variables under investigation. The
research results revealed a meaningful and positive correlation between public participation
(r = 0.339, p < 0.05), revenue innovative strategies (r = 0.490, p < 0.05), revenue collection
enforcement (r = 0.224, p > 0.05), and revenue accountability (r = 0.430, p < 0.05), with the
efficacy of revenue collection in the Moyale sub-county's permeable border area. The study
