A judge of the Employment and Labour Relations Court has endorsed a decision by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to dismiss one of its officers who refused to declare his wealth as part of the ethics and integrity requirement.

Justice Benard Manani said KRA was justified to fire Theophilus Kiplimo for failing to submit his wealth declaration reports for the period 2019 to 2021, as well as for neglecting duty and insubordination.
