KRA investigates activist Morara Kebaso over alleged Tax Evasion

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is currently investigating political activist Morara Kebaso for allegedly failing to file tax returns on an income of Ksh. 186 million generated by five of his businesses since 2022.

The businesses under scrutiny include Backtent Security Limited, Morara Properties Limited (also known as Blacksmith Morara Limited), Luku Fashion, Morara Home Furniture, and Igrow Digital Enterprise.

According to reports from the Nation, Morara was notified of the investigation through a formal notice from the KRA. The tax authority claims that his businesses have either reported no income or failed to submit tax returns, despite the ownership of various properties and business ventures.

The KRA has indicated that substantial funds have been transferred to Morara’s personal bank account, as well as to the accounts of Morara Properties Limited and Morara Home Furniture, since 2022. Notably, the funds received in Morara’s personal account primarily came through M-Pesa, allegedly intended to cover expenses related to furniture and interior fittings.

In addition, the KRA revealed that both Morara Properties and Morara Home Furniture received payments via M-Pesa Paybill transactions, raising further questions about the financial practices of these businesses.

As the investigation unfolds, the KRA is expected to take necessary actions based on its findings regarding Morara’s tax compliance and business operations.
