An heir of supermarket chain Naivas Limited, Peter Mukuha Kago, has won a Sh777 million tax dispute against the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) over the financial operations of a firm that provides staffing and recruitment services to the giant retailer.

The High Court ruled in favour of HR consultancy firm Achievo Limited, associated with Mr Mukuha, arguing that the bulk of the cash it received from Naivas was not taxable income because it was for salaries and other staff costs.
