Nyandarua Senator John Methu has requested a tax audit of firms owned by former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
Methu contends in a letter on behalf of the Peoples’ Representatives from the counties of Nyandarua, Nyeri, Kirinyanga, and Kiambu.
“No individual or company should subvert the societal goals and deny the public, the revenue required to meet different obligations to their realize the socio-economic rights guaranteed by the Constitution,” the letter reads in part.
He mentions the 2019 merger of Commercial Bank Africa Limited (CBA) and NIC Group (NIC) as well as Brookside Dairy Limited, ENKE Investments Ltd, and the purchase of a 5G spectrum license.
“This country is governed by the rule of law and not jungle law where some animals are more equal than the others in respect of payment of taxes as stated above,” Methu adds.
Brookside Dairy, Heritage Hotels, CBA, and the Mediamax Group are among the companies owned or controlled by the Kenyatta family.
