The Fall Of Uhuru Men: Githii Mburu Quits KRA Top Job

Officials who served under the former regime of President Uhuru Kenyatta are falling in troves as the new administration of President William Ruto stamps its authority.

The latest casualty is Githii Mburu who resigned on Thursday.

Mburu was unlikely to survive in office to serve under newly-appointed Board Chairperson Antony Mwaura who battled multiple tax cases when Kenyatta was in office in what Ruto’s faction termed as “political persecution.”

“The board has today received the resignation letter of Commissioner General Githii Mburu who resigned to pursue personal interests,” KRA Board announced in a statement signed by Mwaura.

Rispah Simiyu, KRA’s Commissioner for Domestic Taxes, was named to the position in an acting capacity.

Pamela Ahago was assigned the Domestic Taxes docket.

The board dropped three commissioners and named Acting Commissioners in their place.

Those dropped are: Lilian Nyawanda (Customs and Border Control), Terra Saidimu (Intelligence and Strategic Operations) and David Kinuu (Corporate Support Services).

David Yego, Commissioner in charge of Regional Coordination was assigned as Acting Commissioner in charge of Intelligence and Strategic Operations.

The board picked David Mwangi and Nancy Ng’etich to take over from Nyawanda and Kinuu respectively on acting capacities.
