Keroche Breweries heir Anerlisa’s message to parents after DPP ordered their arrest

Taking to her Instagram she wrote,

It doesn't matter what position you are in, nobody should ever watch their mother go through harassment. #iStandWithKeroche #iStandWithTabitha

The couple (Tabitha and Joseph Karanja) responded to DPP saying the Sh14 billion was baseless. In a phone interview with Citizen, she said,

I FEEL I AM BEING UNFAIRLY TARGETED. I HAVE DONE MY JOB FOR 22 YEARS, PAYING TAXES AND CREATING JOBS.

Below are some of the reactions from Anerlisa's post

pretty_lacey_things:Tabitha Karanja remains a role model ever since I could understand the concept of one.

She has been through so much harassment as a woman trying to make it in a male-dominated industry, 1 and as a competitor to one of the leading brewers in the country.

She’s a tough cookie. She’ll get through this.

zack_njuguna: How do you evade tax amounting 14b?and for how long? The company has been in existence and reports annually and renews licences annually. Something isn't adding up. Unhealthy competition.
