Ruto orders review of Sh3.2m customs clearance charge

It is a reprieve for small-scale traders after the government ordered a review of the Sh3.2 million customs clearance charge for consolidated cargo. The directive by President William Ruto followed a stalemate at the ports after consolidators refused to clear imported goods. Ruto directed the Kenya Revenue Authority to restore the clearance threshold to Sh2 million, ending a dispute that threatened to disrupt businesses.
