On August 22, 2019, Tabitha Karanja, director of Keroche Breweries, found herself at the center of a tax evasion storm. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) had accused her of dodging a 14.4 billion tax bill over several years.
Tabitha Karanja expressed her shock at the decision, calling it 'humiliating and intimidating.' She felt that her home-grown brand was being treated unfairly.
Anerlisa Muigai, Karanja's daughter, showed her support by posting an image on social media. Her fiancé, Ben Pol, also weighed in, expressing his support for Karanja and his soon-to-be in-laws.
Ben Pol's decision to stick by his fiancée and her family in the face of adversity has been seen as a positive move. The couple's commitment to each other and their families is a testament to the strength of their relationship.
