Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho's details have been suspended from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) records.
Speaking on Thursday, Joho claimed that he was unable to access his account on the KRA portal after being informed that his PIN number had been suspended.
Joho alleged that the tax body had blocked him online and thus he was unable to file his tax returns as required by law.
"I have been attempting to access the system online to file my returns but it's frustrating. The PIN has been suspended by KRA,” stated that Governor.
Joho raised an issue with the move claiming that it could be a plot to ensure that he fails to file his returns, an exercise which will be closed at the end of June.
According to a report by the Standard, two of Joho's brothers also found themselves in a similar situation.
In March, KRA launched a tax assessment on the Governor which led to his six bank accounts being frozen by the High Court.
The Authority claimed that the ODM deputy leader had not declared his returns since 2014 despite having a stable income.
The investigating officers added that Joho used to file nil tax whereas it was apparent he was earning and even had two high-end motor vehicles – a Rolls Royce and a Porsche Cayenne – registered by his name.
