Kenya plans to pursue individuals who use offshore companies to evade taxes and commit other economic crimes, after the government announced it will endorse an international convention that targets such offenders.
The government said the decision to sign the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)-Council of Europe Multilateral Convention on Mutual Administrative Assistance in Tax Matters is aimed at promoting transparency in tax matters.
