The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will be required to publish waivers of taxes deemed uncollectible and seek parliamentary approval if changes introduced by the National Assembly Finance and Planning Committee in the Finance Bill are adopted.

Members of Parliament on the committee have rejected a proposal to hand powers to abandon taxes to the KRA commissioner-general in a move which has stopped the creation of an all-powerful tax czar.
