The High Court has dealt a blow to Keroche Breweries Ltd after rejecting a petition by the Naivasha based-brewer to cut the demand to pay Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Sh500 million, setting the stage for the seizure of its assets by the taxman.

Justice David Majanja dismissed the company’s plea that it did not have funds to pay the taxman within 30 days in line with an earlier court directive.
