The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) collections have deteriorated following wider missed targets amid pressure to cut taxes on key income heads like pay-as-you-earn (PAYE), which could worsen revenue performance.
Ordinary revenues collected through nine months of the fiscal year to March 2026 missed the mark by Sh161.9 billion, extending the deficit in tax collection from Sh110.6 billion at the end of December 2025.
