Kenya Human Rights Commission Chairman Prof Makau Mutua has trashed NGOs Coordination Board directive to deregister KHRC.
According to the board, KHRC was deregistered over the misuse of Sh1.2 billion.
NGOs Board Executive Director Fazul Mahamed said that KHCR had flouted the law by evading tax worth Sh100 million.
The offence is said to have been committed from October last year.
At the same time, Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) was ordered to freeze all account operated by the NGO.
“Fazul has no legal authority to deregister the KHRC. High Court last year rejected these false charges and ordered him to cease and desist,” Makau tweeted
