Missing documents stall Kariuki tax evasion caseA Sh41 billion tax evasion case against businessman Humphrey Kariuki (pictured) failed to kick off after the prosecution requested for time to supply exhibits. “We have not been able to supply everything as required because of the many documents involved. Kariuki’s lawyers Kioko Kilukumi and Cecil Miller told trial magistrate Francis Andayi they were unable to proceed with the pre-trial conference due to the missing documents supplied in DVDs. “We noted that there were so many inconsistencies in the documents supplied in soft copies, making it difficult for us to prepare a defence for the accused. Kariuki and Gerald were further accused of being in possession of 80 drums of 250 litres each of ethanol valued at Sh7 million, without paying tax.
