In the State of the Nation address on Thursday, President Kenyatta vowed to continue the war on corruption.
This would ensure development and justice by protecting public resources from mismanagement and plunder.
Prior to the speech, he President had made a strongly-worded statement that rich Kenyans, whose lifestyles do not reflect their tax returns, should disclose their sources of wealth.
Both statements point to growing inclinations by the national government to work towards tax justice in collaboration with other ongoing initiatives such as anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing.
