Commissioner-General John Njiraini
The position of Commissioner-General at the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is set to be vacant towards the end of June as the current occupant John Njiraini’s tenure will be ending.
KRA board chairman Francis Muthaura in a Friday interview said Mr Njiraini has four more months at the helm, in which time a replacement for the top taxman will be sought. Mr Njiraini’s departure will end a seven-year stint at the Times Tower corner office. He was appointed to the helm of KRA in 2012 by President Uhuru Kenyatta, the then Minister of Finance.
The KRA chair said the board has ample time to pick Mr Njiraini’s replacement, allying fears of a possible leadership vacuum.
