On August 22, 2019, Keroche CEO Tabitha Karanja was arrested by DCI detectives at the breweries premises in Naivasha, following an order by DPP Noordin Haji.
According to reports, KRA officials and DCI detectives had camped at the premises for the better part of Thursday morning.
In a statement on Wednesday, Karanja denied tax evasion, stating that it was inappropriate for the firm to be subjected to “humiliation and intimidation”.
Earlier, Karanja had expressed her shock at DPP Noordin Haji’s decision calling for her arrest and arraignment in court, feeling “humiliated and intimidated” and disappointed that a home-grown brand was being treated “unfairly”.
