About three quarters or 77 companies that supplied Covid-19 related items to the Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (Kemsa) are under the radar of the taxman after they failed to declare sales and pay taxes as required under law.

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Commissioner General Githii Mburu told Parliament that investigations had been launched to establish why the firms failed to disclose and pay domestic taxes.
