Mutahi Ngunyi Offers KRA Advice On How They Can Recover The Sh9B Tax Debt From Keroche

Keroche Breweries is facing a possible closure with KRA moving in speed to recover Sh9B owed by the firm. Court had given a ho ahead for the tax payer for the recovery.

KRA then moved to freeze the firm’s bank accounts, however, in a reprieve following petition, High Court barred KRA from forcing the holding banks for Keroche to remit cash.

Many have viewed the spirited fight by KRA on Keroche as deliberate effort to close it down with some suggesting the new Danish Brewery planet in Naivasha could be favored to take over the market on the death of Keroche.

An hashtag #SaveKeroche has been trending on Twitter for a while now with many Kenyans including intellectuals like economist David Ndii calling out the government for frustrating the Tabitha Karanja’s empire. Many have suggested for KRA to negotiate long term payment plan with KRA instead of closing it down given the impossibilities of it paying Sh9B debt.

Political analyst, Mutahi Ngunyi has an idea that he thinks is timely and could be helpful to KRA and save Kenyans in the glaring dangers of Coronavirus. “KRA has the rare OPPORTUNITY of NEGOTIATING with KEROCHE to produce ALCOHOLIC hand sanitisers in EXCHANGE for the HEFTY taxes. If TIMES change, METHODS must CHANGE! Be NICE!” Tweeted Mutahi.
