Nairobi – The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced the dismissal of 19 employees over corruption-related offenses during the second half of 2024, which ended in December.
This figure is double the number of staff dismissed in the previous year, when only nine employees were terminated over similar offenses.
Speaking during a meeting with Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) Chief Executive Officer Abdi Mohamud, KRA Commissioner General Humphrey Wattanga stated that the two institutions have strengthened collaboration in intelligence sharing, joint investigations, and the development of strategic measures to combat corruption and tax evasion.
During the same period, staff warnings issued by KRA significantly dropped to two, down from 15 in the previous year—an indication of the authority’s firm stance against corruption.
Mohamud, on his part, emphasized that the partnership between KRA and EACC is crucial in the fight against corruption and in promoting compliance with the law
