Wanted KRA officials: DCI orders these 48 officers to surrender

The said individuals include; 32 officers from KRA’s Domestic Taxes Department, 15 from the Customs and Border Control Department and one from the Investigations and Enforcement Department.

They are suspected to have gone into hiding after 41 others were arrested on Friday for allegedly abetting tax evasion and bribery, costing the taxman heavy losses in lost revenue.
