Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) cleared the Sh102 million sent to a 21-year-old Kenyan student by his Belgian boyfriend in August, money that is now subject to forfeiture by the Assets Recovery Agency (ARA).

Felesta Nyamathira Njoroge says in court filings that the taxman froze the money on August 18, about two weeks after her boyfriend — Marc De Mesel wired the millions to her accounts. The KRA cleared the money two weeks later.
