The Kenya Revenue Authority has categorically denied rumors of Commissioner-General John Njiraini's impending exit, confirming he will complete his term in office through June 2019. The statement came after social media platforms circulated unverified claims about his potential departure.
KRA board chairman Francis Muthaura emphasized the governing body's unwavering confidence in Njiraini's leadership, stating there is no management vacuum in the commissioner-general position. He assured stakeholders that the agency's senior leadership team remains fully operational and capable of maintaining institutional stability.
The board highlighted its focus on implementing the 7th Corporate Plan, launched in January 2019, which outlines revenue mobilization strategies for the 2018/19 to 2020/21 period. The initiative prioritizes transformation, data-driven decision-making, and expanding the tax base.
Muthaura reiterated that any management changes will be communicated through official channels, while vowing to ensure a seamless transition in accordance with human resource protocols by June. The statement explicitly rejected speculation about leadership instability within the authority.
