The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will hire 2,000 more officers to bolster its pursuit of high net worth tax cheats amid pressure to meet its collection targets.

Parliament’s Finance and National Planning Committee directed Treasury to provide funds for the recruitment of the officers who sources said would mainly be deployed to investigate rich people’s sources of income and their expenditure against their tax remittances.
