The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has reorganized its business by appointing two new commissioners and a deputy commissioner.
Dr. Terra Saidimu Leseeto and Dr. David Wachira Kinuu will serve as the Commissioner of Intelligence & Strategic Operations and Commissioner Corporate Support Services, respectively.
Saidimu assumed the role in an acting capacity in June following the appointment of James Gathii Mburu who held the position as the Commissioner General of KRA.
