By JOHN KAMAUMore by this AuthorBillionaire investor Humphrey Kariuki was on Thursday fighting against possible forfeiture of his behemoth alcohol business in Thika after Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials started a recovery process that is bound to rattle many other tax cheats. Yesterday the Directorate of Criminal Investigations started interrogating KRA procurement officers in order to shed light on the source of fake KRA stamps that were disguised as water labels. Most curious to investigators is how ASL managed to import the fake KRA stamps found within its premises and how the printer of those stamps managed to cleverly mimic the original. Focus was also turning on Sicpa, the contracted manufacturer of KRA stamps and whose officials have been summoned by the DCI. Apart from the stamps, Sicpa also provided KRA with a system to track goods affixed with the excise imprints.
