Illicit goods worth more than Sh95 million have been destroyed in Kisumu County in a major multi-agency crackdown aimed at dismantling counterfeit trade networks and safeguard public health.
The exercise carried out at the Kenya Industrial Research and Development Institute (KIRDI) Kibos, brought together enforcement agencies including the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), the National Authority for the Campaign Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse (Nacada), and the Anti-Counterfeit Authority.
Officials said the operation reflects a renewed commitment by the government to secure taxes, eliminate unsafe products from the market, and support legitimate manufacturers and traders who continue to lose revenue due to counterfeit competition.
