Hundreds to lose jobs as KRA shuts down Keroche Breweries over Sh332m tax row

[Ramiran]

Based on how KRA works, i.e stealing 1/3 of all collected revenue, they should not close Keroche since that is a significant reduction in cash available for KRA to steal from.

So there is no business sense or even corruption sense in closing down Keroche.

They didn't even threaten to shut bidco na alikuwa na deni ya birrions. There's a clear agenda here, and I blame yule jamaa wa macho ya red

Keroche has a market share of 2%. I doubt any serious international investor would be worried about that.

Why why is some corruption acceptable to you and others are not?

No corruption is acceptable to me, my Dear @The.Black.Templar.
However dealing with corruption requires systematic approaches which bring results and do not result in confusion and muddle.

Every corruption case, just like any case, turns up its own facts and certainties. You have to try and judge it on its individual uniqueness. No generalisation otherwise you bring about miscarriage of justice.

And by the way, a very polite question: what makes you happy @The.Black.Templar? I have seen you downplay concluded cases of corruption where culprits have been sanctioned dismissing them as “small fish”!
Do you want the corrupt tried or not? Please make up your mind.

But really, why would they close a business that pays billions in taxes because of millions? Strategy hapa ni gani? Is it broadening the tax base or narrowing?

Umeulizwa swali hapo juu about nic and cba corruption...why are you dismissing that?

Closing a business ni ufala ya KRA. Doesn't make any sense

Do you deny an international investor is looking to open up a brewery in naivasha and that there are powerful people who want keroche to close by force?

I'm telling you the closure of Keroche cannot be because an international investor wants to come in. A 2% market share is insignificant to be a barrier of entry

So you think it is a coincidence all these issues came up just when the investor expressed interest in opening up in vasha?

The lady has said she'll pay up and gave a good reason for non-payment. Why can't they extend the grace period? Politics. Simple.

Keroche's troubles with KRA started in 2007. The international brewer expressed interest in 2019. So it's a coincidence.

Do you all remember how we were told the govt is shutting down betting companies because they are ruining the livelihood of the youths? Right now, we have many betting firms than before. When it comes to politicizing issues, huyu jamaa seems to take the lead. Not cool

Maybe someone has been eyeing the brewery and the karanjas don't want to sell. Wacha niende hivi narudi
