Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will deploy surveillance drones as it steps up efforts to increase tax collections to Sh3 trillion in the 2023-24 financial year.

KRA has kicked off the process of procuring two unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) that will fly at least 3,500 metres above the area being surveilled and controlled remotely with a range of at least 50 kilometres.

“The Kenya Revenue Authority invites tenders for the supply, delivery, testing and commissioning of two unmanned aircraft systems for aerial surveillance for a period of three years,” said KRA in a request for bids published on Tuesday.

KRAThe drones will be equipped with high-definition video that can zoom up to 40 times and infrared cameras for night vision and will be able to track objects at speeds of up to 80 kmh.

KRA is also looking to increase collections from rental income by mapping residential properties and collect more from the customs and border control departments through enhanced data analytics.
