Life-saving HIV and tuberculosis drugs worth Sh1.1billion are stuck at the port of Mombasa following a tax tussle between the Kenyan government and the US Agency for International Development (USAid).

The consignment of medication has been lying at the port since January 18 after the State handed a Sh90 million tax bill to a privately owned American firm, Chemonics which had imported it on behalf of USAid.
