Former United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Secretary General Cleophas Malala has sensationally placed President William Ruto’s party at the centre of a multi-million-shilling tax evasion scandal involving unremitted taxes.

Speaking exclusively to The Standard, Malala accused UDA of ignoring tax obligations, a claim which highlights alleged impunity and double standards by Ruto’s administration, which has essentially forced heavy taxes down the throats of Kenyans.
