The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Customs and Border Control Department has announced a record Ksh92.53 billion revenue collection for July 2026, surpassing the Treasury's target by Ksh6.37 billion. This achievement marks a 107.39% performance rate and represents a 15.3% increase from July 2025's Ksh80.29 billion collection. The record growth in July was primarily driven by a sharp rise in non-oil revenue, which reached Ksh61.50 billion, marking the first time this figure has exceeded Ksh60 billion in KRA's history.
Custom duties, import taxes, and other border-related revenues play a crucial role in government income, and the strong performance reflects ongoing efforts to modernize customs operations, increase domestic revenue, and reduce borrowing pressure. KRA's Commissioner Lilian Nyawanda attributed the success to investments in technology, trade facilitation, and stakeholder collaboration.
