What you need to know:

  • A letter signed by DCI officer Kuriah Obadiah to KPC asks the company to furnish the DCI with the 13 staffers’ wealth declaration forms and payslips for the period between 2013 and 2020.
  • Detectives have also requested for bank details of payments by KPC to Zakhem International for the period of construction to countercheck with invoices.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) is investigating an alleged multibillion-shilling tax evasion scheme by 13 staff of Kenya Pipeline Company between 2013 and 2020.

Detectives are investigating the loss of billions of shillings in taxes that would have been paid to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) as Value Added Tax (VAT) and duty for equipment and materials used in the construction of Kenya Pipeline Line 5 to replace Line 1. DCI boss George Kinoti confirmed the matter.
