DP Ruto wants detained containers in tax row releasedDeputy President William Ruto. The tax agency wants about Sh1.8 billion from the containers after it raised from Sh1.2 million to Sh3 million per container by end of last year. As government, we have said the goods should be released and traders allowed to do their business,” he said. Ruto was responding to requests by MPs Charles Njagua (Starehe), John Kiarie (Dagoretti South) and Simon Mbugua (EALA), who had lamented that the crackdown had caused suffering to small traders. Most of these are small traders who depend on the supply that is now held at the port,” Mbugua said.
