The tweet, which appeared on the official @KRACare account, quickly caught the attention of Kenyans online, triggering speculation, jokes, and memes across the platform.

At around 5:23 p.m. UTC on March9,2026, the official KRA customer care account posted a message in Swahili and Sheng that read:

“Wamedelete lakini bado Kwaheri Kenya kwani ni kesho🤣🤣.”
