A firm based in Cyprus, the tiny Mediterranean island nation, has lost a suit it filed hoping to block a Sh18 billion tax demand by Kenya Revenue Authority.  

Zakhem International Construction, the firm that built the oil pipeline between Mombasa and Nairobi, has been directed to oblige with the decision of the tax appeals tribunal.
