Tax chief John Njiraini has dismissed as baseless, a suit for him to be sent on compulsory leave pending retirement.
Njiraini also told a court on Thursday that the suit is aimed at demeaning his status.
He said he has not sought an extension of his contract as the Commissioner General of Kenya Revenue Authority beyond the stipulated expiry date, contrary to claims by activist Okiya Omtatah.
Omtatah has accused the taxman of failing to send Njiraini on terminal leave pending his retirement, and claimed further that the commissioner is quietly scheming to have his tenure extended.
