KRA inaelezea vitu vilivyozuiliwa na mchakato wa kusasisha mizigo

Mamlaka ya Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) imeelezea jinsi inavyochunguza mizigo ya abiria wanaoinuka nchini kutoka safari za kimataifa. Imesisitiza vitu vilivyozuiliwa vinavyohitaji vibali maalum na vitu vilivyokatazwa visivyo na kibali. Abiria wanashauriwa kuwa na huruma na kuwa na vibali sahihi.

Mamlaka ya Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) imetoa maelezo kuhusu taratibu za kufuatilia mizigo ya abiria wanaofika Kenya kutoka nchi nyingine. Kulingana na afisa wa forodha wa KRA, kila mshipi kutoka ndege ya kimataifa pimechunguzwa kwa scanner kwa madhumuni ya usalama. Mizigo yenye shaka inachunguzwa mara mbili: taratibu ya kwanza haraka, na ile ya pili kwa skana za 3D za hali ya juu zaidi, alisema afisa huyo katika mahojiano kwenye podikasti Iko Nini. Vitu vilivyozuiliwa, kama bunduki, drone na dawa za matibabu, vinaweza kuingizwa nchini ikiwa vina vibali maalum. Kwa mfano, drone zinahitaji idhini kutoka Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) kwa sababu zinaweza kutumika kwa uchunguzi wa vita, KRA ilisema. Vitu vilivyokatazwa ni kama dawa ngumu. Abiria wanaweza kuleta vitu vya kibinafsi hadi thamani ya $2000 bila kodi. Ikiwa vitu vimezidi au vimekusudiwa kwa biashara, itakuwa na kodi, hata chini ya $2000. KRA inashauri abiria kuwa na huruma, kuwa na vibali na kuepuka vitu vilivyokatazwa ili kuepuka matatizo katika mlango wa nchi. Afisa wa forodha alisema: 'Tunachunguza vitu vilivyozuiliwa, ambavyo vinaweza kuingia lakini yanadhibitiwa. Kwa mfano, bunduki na dawa zinaweza kuingia ikiwa zina maagizo ya daktari.'
