Drama as KRA, police raid AfriCOG offices (August 16, 2017)

Human rights activists and lawyers on Wednesday blocked Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials and police officers from accessing the premises of Africa Centre for Open Governance (AfriCOG) in Lavington.

The KRA officials accompanied by police officers arrived at AfriCOG office with a search warrant to conduct a search on the premise. But they were denied entry into the office on account that their search warrant is not addressed to AfriCOG or its executive director Gladwell Otieno. The lawyers also argued that the search warrant is not signed by a magistrate.
