Millions of Kenyans may from Thursday be blocked from accessing critical public services as the taxman moves to punish tax cheats with the termination of personal identification numbers (PINs).

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) maintained in a public notice Tuesday that it would push ahead with a controversial plan to deregister all taxpayers who have not migrated their profiles to the online platform beginning September 1 as part of a wider plan to smoke out tax cheats.
