The Standard Group Plc is a multi-media organization with investments in media

The National Treasury has revealed plans are afoot to station Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) staff inside major factories across the country to enhance monitoring and tighten the noose on tax cheats.
This is despite planned heavy investments in technology indicating KRA - which is under pressure by the Ruto government to collect more taxes - is expected to pull all stops to nab tax cheats and boost collections.
Treasury has backed the move to embed KRA staff in all factories, saying this gives the taxman "eyes everywhere and anywhere" in manufacturing hubs, as the resident spies will be able to provide it with real-time surveillance.
