.@KRACare has sealed airports and border points in search of a billionaire @JubileePartyK campaign financier wanted over Sh2.2B unpaid taxes from big-ticket State tenders in agencies like @Kemsa_Kenya and @kdfinfo. - @NationAfrica
.@KRACare issued the alert to seal the border points, including Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), to prevent Mary Wambui Mungai from leaving the country after she skipped court to answer to charges of failing to pay taxes between 2014 and last year.
In June, the businesswoman failed to appear before the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) as directed, claiming she was in Zambia for undisclosed business deals.
Ms Mungai’s failure to appear before the KRA for the second time on December 3 left the taxman fretting over the possibility of her fleeing.
Her lawyer appeared before anti-corruption court chief magistrate Felix Kombo on Monday and said she was been hospitalised since November 29. However, no medical records were provided to support the claim.

Before constable Benson Imbatu went on the rampage, killing his wife and five other people before taking his life yesterday, his colleagues had feared it was a matter of when, not if, he would go berserk. - @NationAfrica
The policeman, who worked in Kabete, Kiambu County, had been implicated in a murder at Mountain View Estate in Nairobi about eight months ago. However, @IPOA_KE was yet to submit his file to @ODPP_KE for action, sources told @NationAfrica.
Had he been interdicted, his colleagues said, the civilians he was meant to protect would still be alive.

When newly elected President of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) Felix Tshisekedi arrived in Nairobi in 2019, few people understood the importance of his first official state visit. - @StandardKenya
It came two weeks after Tshisekedi’s inauguration in the country’s first peaceful transition of power in more than five decades.
The election itself had been delayed repeatedly since 2016, and Kenya had played a significant role behind the scenes to maintain stability in the volatile nation in negotiations that eventually saw immediate former President Joseph Kabila step down after 18 years in power.

Born on December 12, 1963, Mary Wambui Mungai, the elusive woman in the Sh2.2 billion tax evasion case may not have known that one day she would have to dodge authorities to avoid taking the stand in court. - @NationAfrica
Those who know Ms Wambui say her present fortunes are a sharp contrast to her very humble upbringing in the remote village of Gachika, Gatundu South, where her parents still live today.
A March 26, 1999 Kenya Gazette notice lists her among candidates that passed that year’s Government Proficiency Examination for clerical officers, which she sat on Dec 1 and 2 the previous year.

What deal is this now?

South Africa will deport all illegal migrants including from other nations to Kenya as part of a new deal that will relax the current strict Visa restrictions for Kenyans. bit.ly/3osxbPh
Under the new deal, brokered by President Uhuru and his South African counterpart Cyril Ramaphosa following a state visit to the country by the President last month, it will now be the responsibility of Kenya to block all illegal migrants from entering South Africa from Kenya.
Kenya will also be required to take back the deported illegal migrants from South Africa who entered the country from Kenya, shifting the burden of curbing the flow of illegal migrants to Nairobi.
