Tycoon fights court order freezing bank accounts in tax evasion case

A company associated with tycoon Humphrey Kariuki has moved to court challenging an order freezing its accounts over the Sh41 billion tax evasion claims.

Africa Spirits Limited through lawyer Cecil Miller argued that the orders freezing its nine accounts issued by a Kiambu court last month was unlawful and meant to cripple its operations after the Director of Public Prosecution failed to link its directors to the tax evasion claims.
