A woman with disability is fighting against the decision by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to detain a motor vehicle she purchased at the Mombasa Port over alleged import duty.

Through her lawyer Aston Muchela, the woman accuses KRA of discriminating against her detaining the vehicle contrary to the provision of the constitution which gives waivers to persons with disability.

In her case before Judge Jairus Ngaah, the woman wants the court to quash the decision by KRA’s Commissioner Customs and Borders Control that allowed the detention.

“My client should be granted leave to apply for an order quashing KRA’s decision of June 22, 2026 refusing to exempt her from paying customs duty and Value Added Tax,” deposes Muchela.
