The issue of Kshs56,000 came up because of a clarification that was sought on why the KRA imposed a tax. However, this does not clearly state whether the consignee made an appearance because they came 55 days after the arrival of the goods. The standard procedure is that after 21 days, they are to be removed. This is about an issue of lateness by the consignee.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sen. Martha Wangari had sought a Statement on the destruction of insulin meant for children with diabetes. First, I would like to begin by apologizing that this answer has taken so long because it had to go from one Ministry to another. Initially, it was a question of the Ministry of Health. However, since the destruction happened at the point of import, which is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) became the institution to answer this question. I now have the answer.
