The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has kicked off a significant recruitment campaign aimed at filling key leadership and managerial positions as part of its ongoing organizational transformation. The move, announced on Monday morning, is expected to strengthen the Authority’s human resource capacity and boost its operational efficiency.
In a public statement, KRA revealed that it is seeking to recruit three commissioners, twelve deputy commissioners, and several other senior managers across different departments. The recruitment campaign targets highly qualified professionals and is part of a broader effort to revamp KRA’s structure in response to evolving institutional demands.
“This reflects the Authority’s commitment to attracting a diverse and highly qualified pool of candidates in support of its mandate to drive national development through effective revenue mobilization,” read the statement from KRA.
The restructuring comes at a time when the tax authority is reevaluating its internal frameworks to align with emerging challenges in tax administration and national economic priorities. According to KRA, the organizational changes are designed to enhance flexibility within the workforce, improve operational efficiency, and cultivate a culture of continuous learning and innovation.
With a workforce of over 9,000 employees, KRA aims to bolster its capacity to deliver high-quality services and respond swiftly to the dynamic nature of revenue collection and public finance management. The new leadership roles are expected to play a pivotal role in guiding the institution through this transformation.
In addition to enhancing its internal capabilities, the Authority emphasized its dedication to maintaining a fair and transparent recruitment process. KRA assured the public that the hiring exercise will be strictly merit-based, focusing on attracting and retaining top-tier talent.
“The Authority reiterates its commitment to a recruitment process that upholds transparency and meritocracy,” said the statement.
The recruitment drive signals a new chapter for KRA as it seeks to modernize and align its operations with national development goals. Interested applicants are encouraged to visit the official KRA website for more details and application procedures.
