Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has defended a contentious proposal that would expand the Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) powers, granting it access to personal and financial data of Kenyans. The move, outlined in the proposed 2025 Finance Bill, seeks to bolster tax enforcement and address chronic revenue shortfalls.
