For someone who is an 'Elder,' your naivety is shocking. Ati you just sit down with KRA and organize a payment scheme? Have you never been accosted by government officials? You think those guys come with an intent of being reasonable?
Whenever government officials knock on a business' door in Kenya, 99% of the time it is a shakedown attempt. Usually you just chota them something small and they go away for a long period of time. But in this case a moneyed rival has already chotad the tax man beforehand, so it becomes tricky. But at least Keroche has money too, so I predict it will just devolve into a game of both sides trying to chota the tax officials and judges till they get tired. That and Keroche will also have to pay at least something reasonable to kra if they've not been paying
