The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced plans to reintroduce its Graduate Trainee Program to strengthen its human resource capacity.

KRA Commissioner General Humphrey Wattanga highlighted the program’s role in equipping staff with essential skills and knowledge.

“ I am excited to announce that this financial year, we will reintroduce the Graduate Trainee Program, which has historically proven to be a potent initiative for staff development,” Wattanga stated during the 21st graduation ceremony of the Kenya School of Revenue Administration (KESRA).

Wattanga revealed that KRA will establish additional KESRA campuses nationwide to support this initiative.

Further, he said that recent infrastructure upgrades at the KESRA Mombasa Campus have expanded its capacity to offer more training programs and accommodate additional learners.

Skill and knowledge development among staff remain key to creating an optimal working environment for achieving the Authority’s mandate.

In the 2023/2024 financial year, KESRA trained over 7,000 KRA staff in various fields, including tax, customs, and logistics.

KESRA, the largest of four accredited World Customs Organization (WCO) Regional Training Centres in East and Southern Africa, continues to play a critical role in workforce development.
