City Hall has opened a fresh legal battle with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) after the taxman issued a freeze order on all funds that Nairobi City County is to receive from the Treasury seeking to recover Sh4.7 billion in unpaid tax revenues.
The county government has moved to court disputing the amount of tax due, and has challenged the KRA’s power to freeze funds from the Treasury, arguing that only Parliament has the authority to do so.
