Justice Alfred Mabeya lifted the order issued in December, saying the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) should have disclosed to the court the existence of the criminal charges, before seeking to block her from accessing the accounts.
Justice Mabeya further noted that from the evidence presented before him, it was the taxpayer who was begging the taxman to accept payment of the taxes but KRA chose to look the other way.
Ms Mungai and her daughter Purity Njoki were together with their company -Purma Holdings Ltd- charged with tax evasion in December.
