I was touched by Mr. Rotich's comments that the current financial crisis experienced by the Kenya Government is mainly as a result of poor tax collection mechanisms by KRA coupled by actions of some of its rogue employees. I totally disagree with his remarks together with those of Mr. Chegeh (a serial critic of KRA) on the following well researched grounds;
Kra employees have in the past always surpassed their revenue targets. These are the same employees that Mr, Rotich has vehemently criticized without due regard of their past performance record. Such criticisms coming from a senior Government official merely reflects mistrust he bestows to the entire Kra fraternity, which may not resolve the current problem facing our economy. The so called rogue employees should be dealt with on a case to case basis as it been the tradition in the past as we strive to discover the main causes of the Kenya financial crises.
