The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is under pressure to crack down on a growing scrap metal smuggling trade, with manufacturers accusing dealers of moving tonnes of scrap to #Tanzania and #Uganda through key border points.
The manufacturers claim the illegal trade is thriving, with some unscrupulous dealers allegedly operating with little interference as they ferry scrap materials across the borders.
They have also questioned the conduct of some KRA officials stationed at border points, alleging that officials have always watched as the consignments are moved into neighbouring countries.
