Counterfeit goods worth around Sh100 million were today impounded at the port of Mombasa amid a government crackdown on illicit trade that has flooded the Kenyan market with fakes.
The goods, including sugar worth Sh30 million, shoes (Sh40 million) and tobacco (Sh20 million), are at a go down in Changamwe awaiting destruction as their owners are expected to be prosecuted.
