The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has denied a letter that circulated on Friday claiming that they had summoned Deputy President William Ruto over tax evasion.
In a statement, KRA said that the letter was fake.
"Kindly be advised that this is fake," said KRA in a statement on Facebook.
The fake letter alleged to have been signed by KRA Commissioner of Investigations and Enforcement claimed that DP Ruto had only remitted his taxes as Deputy President since 2013.
The letter said Ruto had declared that he makes Sh1.5 million daily from his poultry farm but has never remitted any taxes to the authority from it.
"Your poultry farming enterprise, for instance, as reported by yourself in media interviews generates a daily income of Sh1,500,000 sum of which you remit no taxes to the KRA," claimed the fake letter.
The fake summon letter came after DP Ruto revealed other assets he owns that CS Fred Matiang'i did not make public during his appearance in parliament to explain the DPs security changes.
Among the things the second in command disclosed include; 400,000 shares in Safaricom and makes Sh1.5 million from selling 150,000 eggs daily.
