The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) netted about 1.1 million potential taxpayers when filing of returns closed Wednesday midnight, boosting the taxman’s quest to widen its revenue base.

KRA data show that 5.5 million Kenyans had filed their tax returns by June 30 deadline against 4.4 million who had done so at the same time last year.
