[kictanet] KRA in plan to snoop on your WhatsApp chats

[Victor Kapiyo]

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is setting up an advanced forensic
laboratory that will allow it to mine data, including hidden accounts and
records, from taxpayers’ computers and mobile phones to detect tax and
financial fraud.

The move by the taxman’s newly formed intelligence management division
comes amid a strong shift to online transactions and electronic
record-keeping by businesses as opposed to the traditional paper-based
accounting systems.
