Kenya has uncovered an additional 230,935 workers earning above Sh100,000 monthly who were not captured in previous official data, raising fears that firms have been under-declaring their payroll and denying the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) its fair share of taxes.
The Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) has revised the pay data for 2.9 million Kenyans employed in the formal sector for the four years to 2020.
