The Kenya Revenue Authority has appointed Nancy Ng'etich as the Commissioner for the Shared Services Department in three key leadership changes.
In a statement released on Thursday, KRA stated that the appointments were in line with ensuring that executive roles are substantively filled while maintaining continuity and accountability across the organisation.
"The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is pleased to announce key leadership appointments as part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen institutional capacity, enhance service delivery and drive organisational excellence," the statement read in part.
The KRA Board also tapped Doreen Mbingi, who will assume her newly appointed position effective immediately.
Ngétich has been the acting Commissioner for the Shared Services Department, a position she has held since February 2023.
Before then, she was the Deputy Commissioner, Policy & International Affairs in the Customs & Border Control Department at KRA, and served in several other capacities outside the authority, contributing to customs reforms, trade facilitation, African Continental Free Trade Area negotiations and East African Community customs policy.
In the Large and Medium Taxpayers Department, Rispah Simiyu, who served as commissioner, has been seconded to the National Treasury and Economic Planning.
Mbingi, who is the current Deputy Commissioner, Compliance East & South of Nairobi, has thus been appointed to lead the Large and Medium Taxpayers Department in an acting capacity, pending substantive appointment.
The authority further congratulated the new appointees, stating, "The Authority congratulates Ngétich and Mbingi on their appointments and urges all taxpayers and stakeholders to continue extending their support and collaboration."
Simiyu exited her role as the Commissioner for the Large and Medium Taxpayers Department earlier this month following a five-year tenure.
In February 2023, she was appointed as the acting Commissioner-General following the resignation of FCPA Githii Mburu.
Before joining the Large and Medium Taxpayers Department, she had served as the commissioner of Domestic Staff.
