KRA has destroyed illicit excisable products with a market value of Sh1 billion at Stoni Athi, Kajiado county. The destruction exercise marked a significant milestone in the fight against illicit trade and contraband goods in the country. The exercise further underscores the government’s commitment and determination in eradicating illicit trade in the country. Illicit trade and contraband goods are also harmful to the economy as they lead to loss of government revenue through tax evasion. "We however warn perpetrators of illicit trade and traders dealing with contraband to cease the illegal practices or face the law," KRA said.
