    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that this House adopts the report of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the inspection visit to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) offices to ascertain the impact of revenue enhancement initiatives on revenue collection, laid on the Table of the House on 26th November 2020. The KRA was established by the Kenya Revenue Authority Act (Cap. 496) on 1st July 1995 for the purpose of enhancing mobilisation of government revenue while providing effective tax administration and sustainability in revenue collection. Before 1995, revenue collection functions of the government were distributed among at least five different Ministries and, as result, lacked coordination. Their performance was characterised by inefficiency and low levels of accountability. Therefore, the rationale behind the establishment of KRA arose from the need to enhance efficiency, transparency and accountability in this critical area of the public sector. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
