British troops illegally bringing goods into Kenya. KRA slammed:
The KRA Commissioner for Customs and Border Control, Dr. Lilian Nyawanda, appeared before the Defense, Intelligence and Foreign Affairs Committee, to explain if the military is doing acceptable things by the Kenyan laws.
Specifically, the committee sought to know whether the British military claimed they had received AFCO cigarettes using safe containers..In response to the allegations, Nyawanda stated that the agency has put in place surveillance measures such as CCTV and monitors to detect illegal activities at ports and airports entries and within.
However, she said KRA had limited access to the BATUK compound as it was considered a restricted military area.
In an effort to improve compliance, Nyawanda stated that KRA is collaborating with other government departments such as the Ministry of Justice, the Minister of Immigration, and Interpol..
In addition, Nyawanda said BATUK imported 223 vehicles that were banned from operations under the East African Community Customs Management Act (EACCMA) 2004.
The imported vehicles as of 2019 there are 49 goods vehicles and 154 peoples vehicles and 20 private vehicles..
The board chaired by Belgut MP Nelson Koech, among other issues, did also raise concerns about the military’s high tax burden.
KRA confirmed that BATUK has submitted tax returns for 604 employees. However, he said the organization has yet to submit its tax returns.
A corporation tax is a tax on a company’s profits that helps increase tax fairness among companies.
After the meeting, the members of parliament agreed that the KRA had worked hard against BATUK..
