The High Court has cleared Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to collect Sh1.69 billion from Rift Valley Railways (RVR), the concessionaire which managed the Kenya-Uganda railway service from 2006 to 2017.

RVR had appealed a decision by the Tax Appeals Tribunal which backed KRA’s tax assessment of Sh1.69 billion for the years 2011 to 2016.
