Thousands of taxpayers were granted penalty waivers on Sh4.76 billion owed to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) in breach of amnesty rules, raising questions on the handling of the scheme.

The Auditor-General’s report on the KRA for the year to June 2025 shows that 4,677 taxpayers ben-efited from the scheme without having a repayment plan for the billions of shillings owed in principal taxes.
