Treasury, KRA Pledge Closer Collaboration to Boost Revenue Collection

The National Treasury has reaffirmed its commitment to working closely with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to enhance domestic revenue mobilization and support the country’s economic growth agenda.

This follows a meeting between Treasury Principal Secretary Dr. Chris Kiptoo and the newly appointed KRA Commissioner General, Adan Mohamed, at the National Treasury.

In a statement, the Treasury said the two institutions will continue strengthening their collaboration to improve revenue collection efficiency, broaden the tax base and explore emerging tax streams, particularly within the digital economy.

The Treasury noted that enhanced cooperation between the two agencies is key to ensuring sustainable financing of government programmes while fostering a conducive environment for businesses and investors.

Among the priority areas highlighted were improving tax administration, increasing compliance, and leveraging technology to tap into new sources of revenue generated by the rapidly growing digital economy.

The government also emphasized the importance of creating an enabling business environment that encourages investment, supports job creation and drives long-term economic growth.

Adan Mohamed’s appointment comes at a time when the government is seeking to strengthen revenue collection efforts to support development projects and reduce reliance on borrowing.

The National Treasury expressed confidence that its partnership with KRA under the new leadership will contribute significantly to achieving the country’s fiscal and economic objectives.
