Heated Debate After Martha Karua Message to KRA over Keroche Breweries

Narc-Kenya party leader Martha has sparked a heated debate on social media after she sent a message to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) over Keroche Breweries.

In a tweet, Karua accused the revenue authority of discrimination wondering why it could not allow the Keroche more time to pay taxes yet it gave a waiver to another entity in unclear circumstances.

“On the @keroche_ltd issue all they are asking for is more time, not a waiver, yet we recall @KRACorporate @KRACare in unclear circumstances waived taxes for a financially performing entity during the process of merger, why this discrimination and hostility against @keroche_ltd,” Karua tweeted.

Her tweet gained engagement fast as a section of netizens shared their mixed reactions, which turned into a heated debate.

Some netizens agreed with the Narc-Kenya part leader that KRA had waived taxes for many companies, adding that there’s a hidden agenda behind the Keroche witch-hunt.

However, a section of users insisted that Keroche was a profit-making entity and it ought to pay taxes.

They reminded Karua that ordinary Kenyan citizens pay taxes and Keroche was not exempt.
