A Nairobi court on Wednesday issued warrants for the arrest to 10 traders after they failed to appear in court to face charges related to tax evasion, which led to loss of millions to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
The traders were to appear in court after the Director of Public Prosecutions Renson Ingonga approved the charges against them for filing false purchases, thereby reducing their value-added tax (VAT) liability and income tax.
