KRA boss could get another term as extension lapsesKenya Revenue Authority (KRA) boss John Njiraini’s one-year term extension lapsed yesterday even as the taxman remained mum about his replacement.Njiriani’s six-year term was renewed controversially last year after President Uhuru Kenyatta sacked the Edward Sambili-led board, which had resolved to replace him having attained the mandatory retirement age of 60 in 2017. The new board headed by Francis Muthaura then gave him a one-year term which ended yesterday without any communication as reports emerged that Mr Njiriani may stay at KRA longer. Auditor General Edward Ouko last year said the KRA boss was in office illegally. The former Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya boss replaced Michael Waweru who bowed out in 2012.
