The Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) Customs and Border Control Department has opened the 2026-27 financial year with a record Sh92.53 billion in revenue collected in July 2026, surpassing the National Treasury’s target of Sh86.16 billion.

This represents a performance rate of 107.39 per cent against the target and is up from the Sh80.29 billion realised in July 2025, reflecting 15.3 per cent year-on-year growth

The July performance builds on an already elevated base. In June 2026, Customs posted Sh89.1 billion, which at the time was the department’s highest-ever monthly collection.
