A cargo handling company has sued Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) for illegal detention of its imported goods for more than 38 days, a move that led to the loss of business among other operational costs in a protracted verification process.

Eye Link Cargo ltd, which handles bulk shipments of goods and customs clearance on its behalf and on that of its clients within the country and the region accuses the Customs & Border Control Department of subjecting it to an unfair business environment, allegedly aimed at intimidating it to stop shipping cargo through the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
