The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has shrugged off the prolonged electoral politics to grow the July-September tax collection by 9.8 per cent.

Official data published on Thursday shows the agency netted a total of Sh317.4 billion or Sh28 billion more than the Sh289.03 billion realised in the same period of 2016/17.
