Nairobi County Wins Tax Dispute After Tribunal Dismisses Sh8.3bn KRA Claim

The Tax Appeals Tribunal has significantly reduced a Sh8.3 billion tax demand by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) against the Nairobi City County Government, ruling that the assessment was largely unsupported. This follows a separate legal action where Kenyan businesswoman Mary Wambui Mungai is suing Google in the Kiambu High Court, seeking to remove links to past news stories about a Sh2.2 billion tax evasion case that was withdrawn, invoking her right to be forgotten. Additionally, Safaricom has been ordered by the High Court to pay innovator Peter Nthei Muoki Sh1.4 billion in copyright infringement damages over its M-Pesa child wallet product. These three cases represent significant financial disputes resolved through Kenya's court system.
