The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) spied on bank accounts operated by former Nairobi governor Evans Kidero on a mission that saw it net Sh427 million as unpaid tax for a period of five years.

The authority also snooped on the former governor’s rich list of high-end properties, gleaning information about the rental income that was flowing into Mr Kidero’s accounts.
