The Kenyan High Commission in London owes at least £3.2 million to the city of London for unpaid congestion charges. “We and the UK government are clear that the congestion charge is a charge for a service and not a tax. In London, diplomatic vehicles have designated parking slots for which they don't pay. So Kenya and the others refuse to pay," a diplomatic source told the Nation. The City of London has argued that these are municipal levies by the city and that residents must pay for the running of the city.
