Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has lost a bid to retain the 16 percent tax on cooking gas in changes to the law aimed at making the commodity affordable.

The KRA had petitioned Parliament to retain the tax on grounds that its reduction to eight percent would see it lose out on Sh4.02 billion in revenue in the year to June.
