Press Statement: On-going investigation on KRA staff in allegation of unexplained wealth
Attention has been drawn to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) on the news report published in The Standard today headlined: “KRA man’s Sh600m wealth on 100k pay”.
We wish to clarify the following;
That Mr Joseph Chege Gikonyo, was interdicted on 31st October 2016 when allegations of involvement in the malpractices were brought to our attention.
Issues of unexplained assets and tax evasion have been under investigation by both the EACC and the KRA. The findings on tax evasion have already been shared with the EACC to facilitate prosecution of economic crimes in addition to the recovery of the taxes by the KRA.
Violations of other aspects of the KRA Code of Conduct including conflict of interest are currently under the KRA disciplinary process.
KRA continues to work closely with other Law Enforcement Agencies in the fight against corruption and economic crimes.
KRA has a zero tolerance policy to corruption and all KRA staff have an individual responsibility to uphold integrity at all times.
