The Kenya Revenue Authority arraigned a Nyandarua county official together with his wife, mother and business partner over evading tax amounting to millions of shillings.
Michael Kuria, his wife Catherine Wanjiku, mother Agnes Wanjiku Kuria and business associate Henry Njoroge Gathiga run several multi million trades.
Six of their companies namely; Gachomba & Co. Properties, Kaimbaga Enterprises Limited, Ol Kalou Ventures, Githioro General, Kanjuiri General and Wanjohi contractors were also implicated in the charges.
Appearing before a Nyeri magistrate, the four denied the 58 charges they were accused of by KRA, amounting to Sh116 million.
The court heard that they were using the companies to do business with the county government but failed to pay the corporation tax, income tax, the value added tax and pay-as-you-earn tax.
They however denied the charges, being released on a bond of Sh10 million each.
