The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has detained a large consignment of the popular Jameson Irish Whisky following a disagreement with its importers over valuation of the product.

The taxman is demanding Sh700 million arrears from Pernod Ricard Kenya Limited, the distributor and marketer of Jameson, who has moved to court seeking release of its products.
