Kenya Revenue Authority officials on Monday confiscated ethanol worth Sh1 million that was being transported into the country. The ethanol was seized by the KRA officers in collaboration with officials from other agencies. The team comprised officers from KRA, Anti-Counterfeit Authority (ACA), Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (KEPHIS), Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) as well as the police. The officers were acting on intelligence and intercepted the ethanol consignment being smuggled through East and Central Africa’s busiest border points. The move is aimed at controlling access to ethanol, protecting the public health and preventing revenue loss.
