The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has nabbed Sh40 million alcoholic products at a Thika based Vinepack limited.
This is part of KRA’s measures to curb illicit brew production.
Moreover, the firm runs a medium scale production of alcoholic beverages, which they supply across the country.
Nevertheless, Kenya Revenue Authority reported that seizing the goods was as a result of a sting operation carried out by its officers on Wednesday, September 7.
Likewise, the goods seized include 33 drums of ethanol estimated at Sh16 million, 100 boxes of 10 liters Vodka estimated at Sh2 million and 5,000 counterfeit stamps valued at Sh10 million.
Furthermore, Kenya Revenue Authority has condemned the use of counterfeit stamps which contributes to a great loss of revenue.
