The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has seized 23 smuggled prime movers in Nairobi, suspected to be part of a multi-million shilling tax evasion scheme involving illegal imports, tampered vehicle identities and fraudulent registrations.

The trucks were confiscated in the city’s Industrial Area and were allegedly being reassembled to conceal their origin and evade taxes, said the KRA on Monday in a statement.
