The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) suffered multiple burglaries orchestrated by a sophisticated tax evasion syndicate, with nearly 24 million excise stamps lifted from a vault in the Times Tower headquarters in the three years to June, 2025.

One KRA staffer has been fired after being implicated in the series of vault breaches, with the taxman still investigating six of its workers believed to be part of the syndicate.
