Monday September 24, 2018 - The
Government of President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, is now
pursuing a former Cabinet Secretary with plans to recover millions of shillings
lost through tax evasion.
The State is in
the process of recovering Ksh2.1 million from Kenya’s Ambassador to France,
Prof Judy Wakhungu, who is also a former Cabinet Secretary, that was
evaded as tax for her car.
Wakhungu
evaded paying tax during her
tenure as Environment, Water and Natural Resources Cabinet Secretary.
According to
Auditor-General Edward Ouko’s report for the financial year 2014/15, the Ministry paid Ksh7million to Toyota Kenya
without paying 30% tax of Ksh 2.1 million to Kenya
Revenue Authority (KRA).
Water and Sanitation CS, Simon
Chelugui, has already written to his Foreign Affairs colleague Monica
Juma to have Prof Wakhungu surcharged.
“This
matter has been queried by the Auditor General and in order to correct the
anomaly, we request you to facilitate recovery of Ksh2.1 million tax refund and
remit the same to Kenya Revenue Authority,” said Chelugui’s letter.
