CUSTOMSKRA wanted orders issued on December 22 directing the sugar to be discharged at the port sheds under Customs control to remain in force. The judge said he was not persuaded that KRA will suffer prejudice for loss of tax should the sugar be offloaded at the JB Maina Warehouse. PORT SHEDSThrough lawyer David Ontweka, KRA had argued that if Darasa wanted to have the sugar offloaded at JB Maina Warehouse it ought to execute a bond (security for tax). The court also heard that the port sheds where KRA wanted to have the sugar offloaded were in good condition and had adequate space. PAY POLICEMr Mosota had argued that Darasa was ready to pay police to provide security at JB Maina Warehouse to ensure the sugar’s safety.
