The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is demanding Sh61 billion from betting companies amid protest by MPs that the State defied courts in denying the gambling firms licences.

The KRA said it submitted the list of 72 non-compliant betting, lotteries and gaming firms to the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) when the regulator demanded to know the tax compliance status of the companies.
