    "content": "One of the proposals in this review is to have them as full time - and I will come back to this later on. Another of their institutional challenges is the fact that the Tax Appeals Tribunal since its inception, has always been funded by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), which also seconds its staff. Here is a tribunal which is supposed to be providing independent judgements and fairness to a taxpayer who appears before it. They try to do their best, but the fact is that they are funded by KRA. This means there is a perception to a person appearing before it that: ‘He who pays the piper calls the tune’. So, even when a judgement should be in favour of KRA, for justice to be done, that perception has always worked against them. That is because of the feeling of how to trust a tribunal funded by KRA and also has its staff."
