The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) faces another barrier in its effort to collect Sh3.6 billion in excise tax on cosmetics, bottled water and other non-alcoholic drinks after Cherangany MP Joshua Kutuny petitioned Parliament to stop the process.

The taxman, which in May won a protracted case at the Court of Appeal, plans to roll out its Excisable Goods Management System (EGMS) on August 1 pending determination of a case at the Supreme Court.
