The government has launched investigations into activist Morara Kebaso, over failure to pay taxes for his business, for the past three years.
According to the taxman, Morara owes Ksh27 million worth of unpaid taxes. KRA outlined that the activist has five businesses and has failed to remit taxes over the last three years.
According to KRA, the businesses have been filing nil returns “despite the fact of ownership of properties, business undertakings, and other assets.”
Analysis from KRA shows that Morara has three bank accounts, two registered to a real estate and furniture business, respectively, and one registered to him.
The analysis further shows that the businesses brought in Ksh9.5 million in 2022, another Ksh31.9 million in 2023, and Ksh144.9 million in 2024, adding up to Ksh186.3 million over the last three years.
KRA also lists records from the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) indicating that Kebaso has four cars, a tuktuk and a motorcycle.
However, in an interview at the start of the year, Kebaso revealed Kenyans have only sent him Ksh6 million.
