The Kenya Revenue Authority has appealed against a High Court order that it issues lawyer Tom Ojienda with a tax compliance certificate at a time when the taxman is demanding Sh443.6 million arrears from the advocate.

KRA says that High Court judge Wilfrida Okwany erred in issuing the order, arguing that the directive will make the lawyer tax-compliant despite a row over tax arrears. The judge on Tuesday ruled that Prof Ojienda has established that he has a solid case and will suffer prejudice if the order is not granted.
