A sugar importer wants Kenya Revenue Authority officials jailed for contempt after failing to comply with court orders. Darasa Investment wants the officials committed to civil punishment as they did not allow the offloading of sugar to the company. The December 27 directive was for 800,000 bags of sugar to be taken to JB Maina Warehouse for storage, pending the full hearing of the matter. In his application, Mosota told judge Erick Ogola that his client preferred JB Maina for security reasons. But the taxman maintained the port's shades are safer and more controlled than JB Maina Warehouse.
