Morara Kebaso, a political activist and online critic of President William Ruto, is being investigated by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for alleged tax evasion.

Why is KRA investigating Morara?

KRA said that Morara had failed to pay KSh 27 million in tax over the past three years.

According to the report NTVKRA mentioned that the political activist earned more than KSh 186 million through his businesses but did not pay income every year.

The tax announcement shows that five companies including Morara Home Furniture, Morara Properties Limited, Luku Fashion, Igrow Digital Enterprise and Backtent Security Limited are under investigation.

KRA has also listed six vehicles owned by the 2027 presidential candidate, including a Land Cruiser pickup, Land Cruiser Prado, Captain Tuk Tuk, TVS motorcycle, Renault van, and Volkswagen Passat.

The authorities also noted that Morara has been receiving money in his personal account, mainly through M-Moneywhich reportedly covered the costs of interior fittings and furniture.

In his defence, the activist denied the alleged tax evasion and submitted two tax compliance certificates for 2023 and 2024, issued to him by KRA.

This comes a few days after Morara admitted receiving KSh 6 million from well-wishers who supported his movement.

Why was Morara Kebaso arrested by DCI?

This comes several months after the activist was arrested by detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigation.

Morara was arrested on Monday, September 30, after police raided his head office in Kahawa Sukari, Nairobi.
