Kenya's Tax Office Gets New Boss.
Kenya's tax office is called the Kenya Revenue Authority, or KRA for short. It just got a new leader. His name is Ndiritu Muriithi.
Muriithi held a special ceremony on Monday. He promised to improve the KRA, making it more fair and helpful.
"I want the KRA to be a place people can trust," Muriithi said. "It should be a place where everyone is treated the same."
Muriithi said the KRA will work hard to do a good job, follow the rules, and try new things to help people pay their taxes.
Muriithi wants the KRA to be friends with many different groups. He thinks this will help strengthen the country's economy.
"We will keep talking to people," he said. "We want to find ways to make paying taxes easier for everyone."
The KRA will also use more computers and technology, which will simplify things for people who need to pay taxes.
"We promise to make our computer systems easy to use," Muriithi said.
Muriithi has worked in government and business for more than 33 years. He knows a lot about running things and has helped with big-money projects before.
Muriithi used to be a Member of Parliament. He was also in charge of factories for a while and the governor of Laikipia County.
People think Muriithi will be good at his new job. They hope he can make the KRA a better place for everyone.
Muriithi is excited to get started. He wants to ensure that the KRA is fair and helpful and that people feel good about paying their taxes.
It might take some time, but Muriithi thinks he can make a difference. He wants the KRA to be a place where people are happy to work.
That would be good for Kenya. It would mean more money to help the country grow and get better.
Everyone is wishing Muriithi good luck in his new job. They hope he can make the KRA the best it can be.
