KRA boss James Mburu. [David Njaaga,Standard]The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has enhanced automation of its systems aimed at raising revenue collection and sealing corruption loopholes. The taxman targets to collect Sh1.6 trillion this financial year, with Commissioner-General James Mburu saying automation would support efforts to increase the tax base. The strategy will reduce human interactions blamed for among others, graft and low revenue collection. This comes at a time when some staff at KRA have been fired or prosecuted due to corruption and unexplained wealth.
