Keroche Breweries chief executive officer Tabitha Karanja says she signed the latest tax deal with the taxman, which she has since dishonoured, under duress in the latest intrigue in the long-running dispute with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

The troubled Naivasha-based-brewer also appeared to be walking out of the monthly repayment deal signed three months ago saying the instalments were too high, and that it was not tenable to “pay such a huge amount of money a few weeks after the company was reopened for operations”.
