Roll-out of new KRA customs system set for June

KRA Commissioner for Customs and Border Control Julius Musyoki

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will replace the obsolete Simba System with a modern integrated customs management system to curb tax evasion by June.

KRA said yesterday the Simba System, used in the clearing of imports by custom agents, was no longer tenable as it has glaring loopholes that rogue agents exploit to evade paying duty.
