President William Ruto wants Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to increase tax collection, up from Sh2 trillion in 2021/22 to Sh3 trillion by next year.

He urged the taxman to double the amount to Sh6 trillion by 2027.

He also wants all Kenyans above 18 years to register for KRA's Personal Identification Number (PIN). His logic is simple. Collect more taxes and the economy will grow.
