KRA Staff Could Receive 3% Bonuses for Exceeding Revenue Targets Under New Law

President William Ruto signed the Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) Act on October 16, 2026, providing that the KRA will receive 3% of revenue collected above its target in each quarter. The additional funds could be used for staff bonuses, but the law does not guarantee that every employee will receive one or specify individual amounts. The KRA is also guaranteed annual funding of at least 2% of its estimated revenue collections. The law changes the authority’s board composition to include the managing director of the Kenya Ports Authority, aiming to improve coordination between the two institutions.
