THE KAKAMEGA BULLY

Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) seeks to obtain Ksh473 million from a publication belonging to Lugari MP Ayub Savula over claims of unpaid taxes accruing from a period of four years. Reports show that Savula's publication, Sunday Publishers, had secured contracts between 2013 and 2017- the stipulated period in question. Savula had gone to court to prevent the tax authority from seizing his assets, as ordered by the Tax Appeal Tribunal. He confirmed to the court that he had paid Ksh3 million and was willing to pay another Ksh3 million to the tax authority. The legislator, in his defense, had argued that due to the publication facing numerous legal suits, it was forced to shut down. He argued that due to this, the company didn't have any liquidity in order to pay the security in one installment. However, after reviewing the case, High Court Justice David Majanja ruled that Savula had to get a bank guarantee of Ksh10 million within the next 45 days in order to prevent KR...

  There are three things that cannot be hidden for long: The sun, the moon, and the truth. Last week, the truth behind the close tie between Mumias Sugar Company Receiver Manager PRV Rao and Devki Group was made public.  Apparently, Rao and Devki of Narendra Raval started transacting businesses long time ago. This became evident during the grilling of Rao about leasing of Mumias by the Standing Committee of Agriculture chaired by Embu senator Njeri Ndwiga “There was a time I was the Receiver Manager of Kwale International Sugar Company I sold machines as scrapes to Devki steel,” Rao told the senators. Rao and Devki are believed to have struck a deal that would have seen the latter take over Mumias Sugar Company. However, the deal between Rao and Devki hit a snag due to public outcry that led Devki to withdraw his bid to avoid being subjected to public scrutiny on how he had won the bid. Farmers, political leaders and players in the sugar industry were shocked how Devki may hav...

Narendra Raval speaking in his office shortly after releasing a statement of withdrawal from Mumias Sugar deal .  "I was assured of a smooth transition and less questions by the county" he claims.  Story by Bully reporter THE Indian Steel billionaire Narendra Raval who was bidding to revive Mumias Sugar pulled out and immediately demanded for Ksh 1billion bribe from Kakamega Governor. The money according to sources was branded "landing fees" where Governor Oparanya was to facilitate entry, settling and sale of the company now in receivership. Speaking in his Nairobi office while issuing a  statement to withdraw Mr Narendra said he had been assured of less public SCRUTNY by the county government president in several meetings.  "I was assured that by giving the money, I will have direct access to Mumias Sugar because leaders sat down and agreed but it's clear that the Governor did not involve other leaders in this" He said.  The S...

Opinion.  It's very unfortunate that the new Mumias investor, *has  asked the Hyena to guard over, protect and negotiate on behalf of the goats.* Savula together with Kidero are the people who siphoned Mumias sugar to its knees and thereafter death. Those who have done psychology and body language, you can clearly see that Savula is excited and happy as he is about to start his siphoning again, and use Mumias sugar's revival as a political tool, yet we know who initiated the process.  It should be on record that Savula is not a farmer, and if he is then it's maize but not sugarcane Someone should tell the incoming investor that, the people of sugarcane growing zone cannot be represented by *a maize farmer*(How now),and a person who has nothing to loose when, he literally ate our sugar factory to death, and he cared little because he had nothing to loose.  *If the investors need representation, then we have our farmers, The farmers should be given the listening ear*.T...

Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has been sentenced to 60 days in jail, or pay fine of Sh250,000 for overseeing demolition of a private property in breach of a court order. The Environment and Land Court Judge, Sila Munyao, noted that the county boss demolished Mombasa tycoon Ashok Doshi’s perimeter wall in Changamwe on May 10, 2019 despite existence of a court order barring the destruction. The governor was, consequently, summoned to court, but failed to appear on multiple occasions. Joho was accused of hiring 100 goons to bring down the Sh2 million wall. Lady Justice Ann Omollo had, on March 6, 2019, granted Doshi protection against the destruction of his wall by the County Government of Mombasa over land dispute. Joho has been punished alongside Changamwe MCA Bernard Ogutu, who has been fined Sh20,000 or 14 days’ imprisonment. Unlike Joho, Ogutu honoured court summons, but was still found guilty of defying a court directive over his involvement in the demolition of Doshi...
