Government Investigations of Big Tobacco
In their mission to maximize profits from the sale of deadly and addictive products, tobacco companies have been investigated by governments across the world for activity including bribery, corruption, and avoiding paying corporate taxes.
The Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) is investigating British American Tobacco for allegedly bribing officials of the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
Tobacco companies use their relationships with government officials, politicians, media, and businesses to block tobacco control policies. Tobacco companies can be weakened when their misconduct is publicly exposed and those relationships are strained and severed.
