The YCDC is technically independent of the government, and raises its own revenues through tax collection, fees, licenses and property development.[4] In the 2011-2012 budget year, YCDC had an estimated deficit of Ks.5 billion, because of high spending on road construction and purchase of waste collection vehicles.[5]
