On live TV on October 10, President Uhuru Kenyatta admitted he was frustrated by the war and pointed the finger at anti-corruption agencies and officials. He lauded the Kenya Revenue Authority for increased revenue collection saying this resulted from the automation of tax collection systems. He noted tax collection has grown five-fold from about Sh200 million in 2002 to more than Sh1 trillion in 2015/16. Uhuru asked the public to continue working towards improved tax collection and ensure Kenya becomes a sovereign state with transformed lives. "We are committed to furthering the frontiers of our progress through greater investments in regulatory reform, and closing any loopholes in our tax collection procedures and processes," he said.
