KRA arraigns two in court over motor vehicle racket

A KRA official inspects a vehicle belonging to CS Eugene Wamalwa at the Railway Club. Mr Wamalwa surrendered the car after it was revealed that it was among those that had been irregular registered.

Two people were yesterday charged in court with fraudulent importation and registration of high-end vehicles without paying taxes.

The accused included a KRA customs officer, as KRA turns the heat on tax evaders. The taxman has failed to meet its tax collections targets even as some rogue taxpayers have continued to evade the Caesar’s net.
