The Kenyan taxman has issued a 30-day ultimatum to owners of Viagra, pornographic materials and sex toys that were abandoned at the Eldoret International airport to collect their merchandise or it will be destroyed.
In a Gazette notice published last Friday, Kenya Revenue Authority gave the unidentified traders up to April 17, 2019, to lodge their claim and pay for their goods or they will be disposed of.
According to Chief manager in charge of Rift Valley Mr Simon Luseno, KRA customs department had in its possession 6,000 tablets of the enhancement pill Vigrx Plus, 35 pieces of Viagra (50mg), nine pieces of Cialis (20mg), Magic Chocolate Vimas, pornographic materials, sex toys such as dildos and vibrators and arousal creams. There was even a type of cock cage exclusively sold by Lockthecock.ca among the items. The sensual assortment of goods was abandoned at the airport with no trace of owners.
According to the notice, the assorted goods had all been imported and were destined for Nakuru.
““Pursuant to the provisions of sections 42 and 248 of the East African Community Customs Management Act, 2004, notice is given that unless the under-mentioned goods are entered and removed from the custody of the Customs Warehouse Keeper, Eldoret and Nakuru within thirty (30) days of the notice, they will be treated as abandoned and will be disposed of by crushing on April 17, 2019,” KRA stated.
The taxman also intends to destroy a Toyota Carina saloon registered in Uganda and reportedly owned by an MP from Nakuru County. The vehicle was impounded for lack of proper documentary evidence of having paid duty to allow it to continue using Kenyan roads.
