The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will soon have sniffer dogs at border points and airports trained to detect currency in its latest fight against tax evasion and money laundering.

Through its Customs and Border Control Department, the authority said plans are at an advanced stage to start training these canines to sniff out cash in the same manner they detect drugs or arms.
