60 per cent water, juice in Kenya is counterfeit – KRA
More of the water and juice on the Kenyan market is counterfeit, KRA has said, noting the loss of billions of shillings in revenue. Commissioner general John Njiraini said they are keen on taming the sector to ensure customers receive quality products and taxes are paid.
“The water and juice sector is one of the fastest growing industries in the country but statistics indicate over 60 per cent of the products are illicit,” he said.
In an address in Naivasha at the weekend, Njiraini announced plans to introduce the excise stamps management programme to the sector.
