    "content": "COVID-19 stress on the economy. The KRA projected a Kshs1.52 trillion collection in tax during 2020 which means that they collected Kshs1.67 trillion, which was in excess of their projected intention. On this note, I must also report on the sterling performance of KRA, not only under the COVID-19 duress, but in the last eight years of my Administration. In the last eight years, KRA has collected Ksh.10.8 trillion cumulatively in revenue. This means that in just eight years, KRA has collected the equivalent of Kenya‟s total GDP. It also means that on average, KRA collected Ksh.1.3 trillion every year. Hon. Members, to accelerate the turnaround of our Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), under the Ease of Doing Business Government Agenda, my administration has implemented remarkable reforms over the years. These measures have not only improved the country‟s business climate, but they have also mitigated the challenges and bottlenecks impacting businesses."
