New data shows that tax collection in the six months of the current financial year fell short of the new government's target by Sh43.2 billion. This deals a major blow to President William Ruto's revenue collection plan to fund his costly campaign promises.
The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) collected a total of Sh985 billion between last July and December in taxes, falling short of the target of Sh1.028 trillion that the National Treasury had set for the period.
