The High Court has declined to quash travel prohibition orders issued against two businesspeople by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) over fears that they might flee the country without settling a tax demand of more than Sh188 million.
The Departure Prohibition Orders (DPO) were issued against Pratik Mansukhlal Malde and Anile Kumar Malde in July 2020, using section 45 of the Tax Procedure Act, which is granted to restrict a taxpayer from leaving the country.
