Kenya Revenue Authority board chairman Francis Muthaura on Monday dispelled the rumours circulating in social media that the taxman's Commissioner General John Njiraini was barred from accessing his office. He said Njiraini still in office and will serve until the expiry of his term by end of June 2019. But Muthaura said the board has full confidence in Njiraini and that there is no vacuum. Njiraini rose to the post of Commissioner General after previously serving as the authority's Commissioner of Domestic Taxes and was pivotal in ensuring Members of Parliament were finally looped into the tax paying bracket. He was first appointed into the helm of KRA in 2012 by President Uhuru Kenyatta when he was the Minister of Finance.
