KRA wants Ben Gethi charged with tax evasion over Sh791 million NYS money

The KRA has recommended tax evasion charges against businessman Ben Gethi and Josephine Kabura over the Sh791 million allegedly paid from the NYS.

Similar charges were recommended against Directors of M/S Horizon following an inquiry into whether taxes were paid to the government when the amount was paid out.

The amount was allegedly transferred to Kabura through the accounts of her companies - Reinforced Concrete Technologies, Form Home Builders and Roof and All Trading.

In a statement to newsrooms on Monday, Senior Assistant DPP Beatrice Omari said the KRA recommended that they be charged under the Anti-Corruption and Economic Crimes Act and the Anti-Money Laundering Act.

Omari said the NCIC advised the DPP to pursue charges of ethnic contempt against Kiambu Governor William Kabogo. Kabogo allegedly committed the offence at Thika Municipal Stadium on November 25.

While addressing a gathering, he cautioned Cord leader Raila Odinga and Machakos Senator Johnstone Muthama against insulting President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The Director of Criminal Investigations recommended that Mandera Senator Billow Kerrow be charged with incitement to violence and disobedience.

This concerns his claims over mass killings in Mandera county following the discovery of a woman's body in what was believed to have been a mass grave with at least 12 bodies.

Excavators did not find other bodies in the grave and Kerrow apologised for causing anxiety.
