Anonymous whistleblowers helped the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) recover Sh6.8 billion in lost revenue last financial year, underlining the growing role of tip-offs as a potent tool in the fight against tax evasion and corruption.

The recoveries, made through the taxman’s web-based iWhistle platform, represent a 61.13 percent jump from Sh4.22 billion collected in the prior year ended June 2024.
