Nancy Ngetich Appointed Commissioner as KRA Makes New Executive Changes
Nairobi, Kenya – September 11, 2025 – The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has announced fresh changes in its top leadership, appointing seasoned tax expert Nancy Ngetich as Commissioner for the Shared Services Department.
Ms. Ngetich, who has been serving in an acting capacity since February 2023, officially takes over the position following her confirmation by the KRA Board.
During her tenure as acting commissioner, she spearheaded major organisational reforms, aligned human resource functions with KRA’s 9th Corporate Plan, and promoted the adoption of technology to strengthen revenue mobilisation.
Before joining Shared Services, Ms. Ngetich was Deputy Commissioner for Policy & International Affairs in the Customs and Border Control Department. She also previously worked as Senior Manager for Customs and Tax Advisory at Ernst & Young LLP.
Her career has seen her play a central role in customs reforms, trade facilitation, and regional policy negotiations, including the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) and East African Community (EAC) frameworks.
A lawyer by training, Ms. Ngetich is an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya and a member of the Law Society of Kenya, the Institute of Certified Public Secretaries of Kenya, and the Kenya Institute of Management.
In the latest shake-up, KRA also confirmed that Commissioner General Rispah Simiyu has been seconded to the National Treasury and Economic Planning.
To fill the gap, Ms. Doreen Mbingi, currently Deputy Commissioner for Compliance East and South of Nairobi, will take over leadership of the Large & Medium Taxpayers Department in an acting capacity until a substantive appointment is made.
The tax authority said the appointments are part of efforts to strengthen institutional capacity, improve service delivery, and enhance accountability.
“KRA congratulates Ms. Ngetich and Ms. Mbingi on their appointments and urges all taxpayers and stakeholders to continue extending their support and collaboration,” the Authority said in a statement, reaffirming its commitment to efficient, fair and transparent revenue administration.
