Central to this influence is the Maritime Silk Road (MSR), an essential element of China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), aimed at enhancing global trade routes and broadening China’s economic reach.
As East African nations strive to boost their infrastructure and economic growth, the question arises: will these partnerships support development or compromise national sovereignty and regional stability?

KRA is set to link its electronic tax invoice management system (eTIMS) to fuel stations by June 2025 in an effort to curb tax evasion and increase revenues through real-time monitoring of motorists fuel purchases.
Under this new system, every purchase of petrol or diesel will generate an eTIMS receipt, providing the tax authority full visibility of sales across stations, helping eliminate fictitious VAT claims.
Rogue traders have exploited the current system by using unclaimed fuel receipts to seek VAT refunds for business expenses they didn’t actually incur.
This integration will also allow the KRA to track fuel consumption patterns, targeting high spenders with low tax remittance records.
