An importer is seeking to have the taxman and the police compelled to release its million shilling consignment of rice and sugar which it says is being held despite conforming to Kenya Bureau of Standards (Kebs) requirements.

Phoenix Global Kenya Ltd also wants an order issued restraining the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the police from carrying out any further re-sampling tests on its 1,664 and 206.55 metric tonnes of rice and sugar respectively.
