The High Court has given the taxman the go-ahead to collect Sh18 million from Leah Njeri Njiru, the wife to businessman Patrick Njiiru Kuria, who is embroiled in a Sh9 billion tax evasion suit against the government.

In a judgement delivered late last month, Justice David Majanja upheld the decision by the Tax Appeals Tribunal ruling that Ms Njeri owed the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Sh18 million in tax liabilities.
