Police were until Thursday evening hunting for reclusive billionaire Humphrey Kariuki after the Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji ordered his arrest over Sh41 billion tax evasion scheme.

The DPP said there was adequate evidence to charge the businessman and other suspects for being in possession of unaccustomed goods, counterfeit excise stamps, tax evasion and fraud, all amounting to over Sh41 billion at his alcohol plant in Thika.
