A committee of the National Assembly has summoned Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) commissioner-general Humphrey Wattanga over claims the country lost Sh62 billion in taxes in a palm oil import deal.

The Finance and National Planning Committee wants the KRA boss to shed light on claims that Louis Dreyfus Company Asia PTA Limited and Louis Dreyfus Company Kenya Limited did not declare accurate taxes due for payment for the consignment of palm oil imported over four years.
