A Kakamega-based hospital associated with tycoon Julius Mwale has received a reprieve in dispute with the Kenya Revenue Authority after the Treasury offered tax relief on multi-billion-shilling medical equipment and machines.
Health secretary Mutahi Kagwe has successfully applied to his Treasury counterpart Ukur Yatani to exempt Hamptons Hospital from paying value-added tax on the consignment whose value the owners claim is $185.33 million (about Sh20.9 billion) in 18 containers.
