  "summary": "The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) board is set to undergo significant changes, with the addition of the managing director of the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA), the Attorney General, and the Principal Secretary for Finance to its membership. This move aims to strengthen coordination in revenue collection and financial management, as it brings key government institutions directly into the decision-making process, particularly in areas where port operations, tax administration, and financial sector policies intersect. Deputy Chief of Staff Josephat Nanok outlined the changes on Friday, October 16, 2026, during the signing of amendments to the VAT and KRA laws by President William Ruto.",
