Traveller’s outrage as KRA officers inspect luggage at JKIA

There was a moment of drama at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) when Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) officials stopped a passenger arriving from New York to check his luggage.

The amount of perfume the traveller was carrying seems to have drawn the attention of customs officials, who can be heard asking about it before proceeding to inspect the luggage.

The visitor, who was visibly upset, argued that the perfumes were gifts for his family in the country.

“We don’t want to be harassed just because we are bringing gifts for our family members who live in Kenya,” he said.

He could not understand why he had to go through several checks.

“Coming from America, these bags were checked, coming here, this was checked, so now we have to check again, which is very unprofessional,” he complained.

There has been outrage over a directive by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to tax personal or household items worth $500 (about Sh75,000) and above, whether new or used, by tourists visiting the country.
