Tax collection in the first five months of the current financial year fell short of the target by Sh32.2 billion, puncturing President William Ruto’s revenue mobilisation plan.

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) collected Sh786.5 billion between last July and November in taxes, falling short of the target of Sh818.7 billion that had been set by the Treasury for the period, a presentation by Dr Chris Kiptoo, the Treasury PS, shows.
