The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has come under sharp scrutiny from senior government officials who have questioned the effectiveness of the taxman’s efforts to plug tax leakages by improving its systems and curbing corruption.

John Mbadi, the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury, said he would push for an increase in the KRA’s allocation by no less than 30 percent in the next budget, with additional cash being used to remunerate the staff and discourage them from engaging in corrupt activities.
