The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is set to undergo a major leadership shakeup as it re-advertises 13 senior positions, including top commissioner and deputy commissioner roles.
In a public notice published via MyGov on Tuesday, July 22, KRA confirmed that it had reopened applications for these positions after withdrawing an earlier advert that was published on June 17, 2025.
“The Kenya Revenue Authority wishes to inform the general public that the job vacancy advertisement that appeared in MyGov on June 17, 2025, seeking applicants for the roles of Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner, has been re-advertised.
Please note: individuals who already applied earlier do not need to reapply,” the notice stated.
The reopened job slots include one Commissioner position—specifically for Micro and Small Taxpayers—along with twelve Deputy Commissioner roles spread across different departments.
The Deputy Commissioner roles cover a wide range of critical areas, including:
- Trade Facilitation
- Micro and Small Taxpayers
- Tax Dispute Resolution
- Revenue Monitoring
- Enforcement and Prosecution
- Business Transformation and Digital Engineering
- Risk Management
- Supply Chain Management
- Audit and Risk
- Information Security and Data Governance
- Infrastructure Management
- International Tax
According to KRA, interested applicants can view the complete job descriptions and qualifications by visiting the official PKF website. All applications must be submitted online by Monday, August 11, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. EAT.
In a separate statement released on July 21, the tax agency noted that the recruitment drive is part of its 9th Corporate Plan, which focuses on strengthening institutional efficiency and improving human resource capacity through strategic hiring under its Key Result Areas (KRAs).
“This process is an important milestone towards strengthening our internal capabilities and maintaining a high standard of service in the public sector,” the statement emphasized.
KRA further highlighted that these new appointments are intended to infuse new talent into the organization, foster diversity, and promote equity and competitiveness in public service employment.
“These new additions to our leadership team will improve the overall effectiveness of our workforce, which currently exceeds 9,000 employees. They will also boost our ability to handle the ever-evolving challenges of tax administration, quickly adapt to emerging issues, and ensure consistently high service delivery,” KRA noted.
This leadership restructuring comes barely a month after KRA reported an increase in revenue collection, and just five months after the Domestic Taxes Department was split into two separate units—moves that underscore KRA’s ongoing transformation and focus on better governance and efficiency.
