Two weeks after Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya announced that a new medical oxygen plant the county imported from France last month had been released, investigations by the Business Daily confirm that it is still stuck at the Mombasa port.
Kakamega County General Hospital (KCGH) administrator Titus Mumia said Monday that the standoff between the importer and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) over payment of clearance fees was causing the delay.
