The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Commissioner-General James Githii Mburuhas had his term in office extended from three to five years. Officials said the taxman board met and approved the extension of the term for Mburu and all chief managers, deputy commissioners and commissioners to enhance their operations in office. Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani gazetted the extension of the term from three to five years on August 12. The board felt three years is not enough time for the executive at KRA to come up with strategies and implement them. The former Institute of Certified Public Accountants (ICPAK) boss placed his bet on technology and revamped legal systems to enhance tax compliance.
