Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has partnered with the Government of Sweden and TradeMark Africa (TMA) to launch a major solar initiative at its Malaba One-Stop Border Post to reduce its power costs by 90 per cent.

The project, the taxman said, aims to reduce disruptions caused by frequent power outages at the facility.
