    "content": "We must spend a shilling to get another shilling. In KRA, we do not spend a shilling to get a shilling. You spend one shilling to get Kshs100. I believe we lose a lot of money through what we call tax evasion. In Kenya, tax evasion has become heroic. People pride themselves on how they have evaded taxes. Why do they not evade taxes when we are still analogue and when we still need a whole truck carrying loads and loads of goods to offload and count literally and we are short of human resource? They get tired. They assume that what is declared is what is there. I am shocked to be told that one of our main entry areas, that is, the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), there was a time the scanner was not working. You can imagine the goods that came in at that time and that were not properly declared. You know the moment you know there is a loophole here... That is why I am saying in Kenya, to evade taxes is heroic. That is because you know you will do it. You are aware that there is such shortcoming. We must automate and digitise our ways of collecting funds."
