A Man who requested a 2.9 M bribe from United Africa Evangelical ministries officials by pretending that he would help them write off their KRA taxes has been charged.
EACC claims that Phillip Kilonzo fraudulently obtained money from a children’s home associated to the ministry by pretending that he would help the officers from the facility to write off alleged tax due to KRA.
It is alleged that Kilonzo requested and obtained a bribe of Sh 2.9 million from the children’s home in order to influence the writing off of alleged taxes due to the Kenya Revenue Authority.
The EACC alleged that on October 4, 2020 at Afro Sayari Hotel within Nairobi County, Kilonzo requested for a bribe of Sh 2.9 million from Joseph Ndambuki, Shedrack Mutisya and Simon Kioko all officials from United Africa Evangelical ministries and Grace Children’s Home claiming that he would influence writing off alleged tax due to KRA from Grace Children’s Home.
He was charged with another count of obtaining Sh2.9 million by false pretence from Grace Children’s Home.
He denied both counts and was released on a Sh1 million bond with an alternative bail of Sh 700,000.
