The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has responded after a foreigner lamented over inconsistency in the charging of customs at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
In an earlier complaint, Dina Sherif wondered why KRA officials were determining customs paid by travellers in secrecy.
In particular, she revealed that she was given different charges by the officials for items that she was bringing into the country.
“For 15 books, 20 t-shirts, and some MIT caps, I was first asked to pay 1200 USD. Then it went down to 950. Then to 800. All the while nobody would explain to me how they were reaching these calculations,” she wrote on her LinkedIn page.
