1. Following the arraignment of Directors of Keroche Breweries Ltd, KRA enforcement officers availed to the Prosecution a letter dated 13th August, 2019 authored by Tabitha Karanja, CEO & 1st accused. The letter was placed on record before Plea Court. 
2. The letter confirmed that Tabitha Karanja, the CEO of Keroche Breweries Limited, indeed received the summons issued by KRA.
3. In court, Senior Counsel Hon. Senator James Orengo, confirmed that the Directors were summoned. This was indeed an opportunity for the Directors to interrogate the matter further with KRA.
4. However, when the CEO appeared before KRA officers, she was belligerent & left in a huff accusing KRA officers of conspiracy to charge her with a criminal offence. An allegation that couldn't be substantiated in the circumstances as investigations were still ongoing.
5. On the 8th August, 2019 KRA wrote to ALL the Directors of Keroche Breweries Limited, pursuant to Section 61 of the Tax Procedure Act, summoning them as they were undertaking tax investigations on Keroche Breweries Limited, for identified tax offences.
6. It is believed that Tabitha Karanja, CEO Keroche Breweries Limited, colluded with KRA officers which matter is under active investigations.
7. Robust and decisive action will follow against her, KRA accomplices and any other culpable individuals. The Office of the DPP is awaiting conclusion of investigations and shall take appropriate action in due course.
