1. How KRA Achieved Success:
- Strategic Collection Measures: KRA achieved a milestone of Kshs 1.005 Trillion by focusing on consistent and structured revenue collection across both domestic taxes and customs revenues. The Customs department maintained an impressive collection rate above Kshs 70 billion per month over four months.
- Innovative Approach: Growth in revenue collection, despite economic challenges, is attributed to innovations in strategy and risk management by the KRA's Commissioner for Strategy, Innovation, & Risk Management.
- Resilience Against Economic Headwinds: Despite lower domestic demand (PMI averaging 48.94) and modest import growth (1.0%), KRA maintained robust collection strategies and revenue mobilization tactics.
