“We expect the learners to be our ambassadors in training and creating awareness on taxation to Kenyans which will also go a long way in demystifying tax for the common man. The trickle-down effect of the project will bring a phenomenal change among taxpayers and in essence create efficiency in taxation and voluntary compliance.”
Others are AIC Chebisaas Boys in the North Rift Region and Kagumo High School in the Central Region.
He said the project was well-received, however, he urged schools to comply with tax obligations to benefit from the curriculum.
