Chinese firm Huawei Technologies is now facing sanctions, including being barred from doing business in Kenya after it failed for the third time to provide documents to Parliament explaining how it got a tax waiver that has since accumulated to Sh1.92 billion.

In an escalation of the inquiry, the Finance and National Planning Committee on Tuesday invoked Article 125 of the Constitution to compel Gao Fei, Huawei Technologies Kenya chief executive, to produce the documents within the next seven days.
