Officers from Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) are in hot pursuit of Mary Wambui Mungai, a Jubilee Party financier wanted for tax evasion.
Business Daily reports that KRA has issued an alert to seal border points and airports in a bid to block Wambui from leaving the country after she failed to appear in court to answer to tax evasion charges.
The businesswoman failed to honor summons by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in June claiming she was in Zambia on a business trip. She also failed to appear before KRA for the second time on December 3rd, with the tax authority suspecting that she is planning to flee the country.
On Monday, her attorney told anti-corruption court chief magistrate Felix Kombo that Wambui has been in hospital since November 29th but he did not provide any medical records to support the claim. The magistrate dismissed Wambui's application to delay plea taking for at least 10 days and issued a warrant for her arrest.
Wambui and her daughter Purity Njoki Mungai are facing multiple counts of evading taxes through a company known as Purma Holdings, where both are directors.
They are accused of failing to file income tax returns amounting to Sh2.2 billion between 2014 and 2020 after landing lucrative tenders at various government agencies, among them Kenya Medical Supplies Authority (KEMSA) and the military.
Through Purma Holdings, Wambui and her daughter are said to have earned billions of shillings from government tenders for supplying boots, uniforms and cereals to the military between 2014 and 2019.
Wambui was a member of the Friends of Jubilee Foundation lobby which raised millions of shillings for President Kenyatta’s re-election campaign in 2017 in two hours. She is also said to be a close ally of Deputy President William Ruto.

So what is your point? That only women who have manly appearence commit such crimes? Besides that, what wrong with a woman looking like a man ,or aman looking like awoman if they were born like that? And what is the measure of how aman should look like,that would dispel any resemblance of a woman. Since you are in the know, please enlighten us...
aayy Maxiley. Did that touch a nerve. your response was might strong yawa. I thought he was saying she looks like a man he knows. Labda sio kwa ubaya
You have softened the punch by saying that you thought he was saying she looks like a man she knows,but surely it does not sound like she /he can across like that. Read again... she does not look like a woman...
ddm4622b, that is correct. His/her response sounds childish
Chill bro or sis, whatever you are. Stop being angry for everything you see. To me, that's what I saw. What you see, it is your business,.....
You need to chill! What you said at first was meant to cut down the lady because of her physical appearance! Who care if you, yourself, looks like a Tammy Warnnett? Stop judging others by the way they physically look! Even those who look astonishing can steal as well!
Could you repeat that again so that these pedantic perfectionist could get it @ Justin. Thanks for seeing my point. Nobody is fooled what was meant is clear.
"She is also said to be a close ally of Deputy President". What's that supposed to imply? I hate finger ☝️ with disgrace. We all have friends with different characters, sizes, complexion, race, nationality you name it. Focus on Wambui without dragging peoples names. Her actions has got nothing to do with who her friends are.
No wonder she is a thief! All close associates of DP Ruto are thieves! Just look across UDA! It’s a club of thieves with very sweltering tongues! Kenyans beware!
For the uninitiated, 'close ally' means she is mtu wa mkono....This lady was a regular hustler when I was a teenager in a certain area of Eastlands, Nairobi. Billionaire bandia.... She is someone's foot soldier...to carry the loot.
@Ben - You have hit the nail on the head! Ruto only associates with kikuyu cons to do the dirty deeds for him! Then he kills the rest of Kikuyus with fire!
The writer should have also researched/investigated the last time ODM/Amollo financiers(kina Macharia-CITIZEN,Karanja-KEROCHE,Wambui Kirubi-CENTUM,Munga-EQUITY,Ibui-LAPSET,Kariuki-AFRICA SPIRIT etc) paid taxes.All these companies are registered In Mauritius,Cyprus,Bahamas and Cayman islands to evade taxation.After all,JUBILEE is still owned by miitu Muigai and Samoei.
WELL, WELL, WELL, THIS WOMAN CAN AFFORD ANY YOUNG D**K.....
THE ISSUE HERE ARE NOT THE LOOKS ,BUT HOW MUCH SHE HAS STOLEN...
