A Nairobi court will today sentence a former senior KRA employee who was convicted for obtaining over Sh7.8 million by falsely pretending his law firm was authorized to collect taxes.
Milimani senior principal magistrate Bernard Ochoi on Tuesday ruled the accused Peter Muhu Muriuki did not dispute the allegations that he was a KRA officer and that he misled Scripture Mission East Africa by stating that his law firm was entitled to collect taxes.
He said that there is evidence that Muriuki induced Director Scripture Mission East Africa to deliver Sh7.8 million to an account belonging to Mungu and Co-advocates by falsely pretending the said law firm was an agent of KRA and authorized to collect taxes.
Muriuki is also charged with uttering a fake Kenya Revenue Authority pay-as-you-earn credit slip to the director of Scripture Mission East Africa purporting it to be valid.
"The court is satisfied that the prosecution had proved their case beyond reasonable doubt and I, therefore, find him guilty and convict him as charged," said the magistrate.
