Businesswoman Mary Wambui Mungai, who is at the centre of Sh2.2 billion tax evasion has presented herself to the Anti-Corruption court.
The move comes after she evaded an arrest at Nairobi’s Weston Hotel.
There was drama at the hotel when police raided there in search of the woman and her co-accused only to realize she had left minutes earlier leaving their personal belongings.
A host of dignitaries from Garissa were at the same facility for a fundraiser. Deputy President William Ruto was among those present.
It is not clear if the DP was informed about the drama as police searched for the two on strength of a warrant they had.
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) said in a statement Wambui, alongside Purity Njoki Mungai, who are both directors of Purma Holdings Limited, escaped from their hotel rooms a few minutes before the police and KRA officers arrived to arrest them.
Upon searching the hotel premises, KRA officers and the police found personal belongings of the two including cash, bank cards and car keys, a clear indication that the two were residing at the hotel.
The search for her is ongoing. It is claimed she was sneaked out of the hotel by one of the cars present.
