Kalpana Rawal is in the headlines once again thanks to a potential lawsuit if she fails to clear her name over her alleged links to a number of companies registered in the notorious Caribbean tax haven the British Virgin Islands.

According to a letter penned by Apollo Mboya, the lawyer wants the embattled Deputy Chief Justice to provide documents of incorporation of all companies together with her husband Hasmukhrai Rawal.

The documents insinuate her business interests are part of papers that were leaked recently by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists in April. The controversial paper which has been christened the Panama Papers, details how prominent people used a Panama-based firm, Mossack Fonseca, to open and operate firms and accounts in tax havens.

Rawal and her husband were named as directors of Rocklane Properties Ltd from 2001 to 2003, which according to Mboya, were operational before she was appointed to the judiciary.

A total of 191 Kenyans have been named for stashing their wealth in foreign off shore accounts to escape the long arm of the law in a well calculated scheme that see them avoid paying taxes to the government.

Others named in the Panama Papers include James Gitau Singh, a former Youth Enterprise chairman who is also part owner of Rafikiz and Bacchus clubs, Mwendia Nyaga, a former National Oil Company of Kenya managing director who now runs an oil and gas consultancy firm as well as Faisal Mohammed, an alleged poacher wanted by the International Police.
