On December 20, 2019, King Kaka's tax return file was handed over by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) board, revealing disheartening news from the Kaka Empire records.
According to confidential sources within the tax body, the musician last attempted payment of tax in 2009, with his tax due hitting above 5.5 million shillings to date.
The KRA pointed out that they needed the intervention of the government to apprehend the musician to show cause why he deliberately denied the country revenue through tax evasion.
King Kaka, who boasts of running a successful business empire, is undoubtedly in for yet another blow, with the police set to hunt him down and hand him over to the authorities.
The musician's arrest could be a continuation of the crackdown on tax cheats, with billionaires Humphrey Kariuki and Tabitha Karanja among those who have been arrested for avoiding paying tax.
