Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) investigators have raided offices and warehouses belonging to the local agents of the world’s largest cigarette producer from China, as part of a preliminary probe of suspected tax fraud.

The probe targets the local agents of Chinese state-owned China Tobacco, which feeds the Kenyan market with Septwolves and Harmonization brands out of its over 900 products that generated sales of $210 billion (Sh27.1 trillion).
