Kisii Central DCI detectives have retrieved an explosives stockpile and taken into custody two individuals who were discovered to be in possession of the goods.
The explosives were recovered and the arrests were made in response to intelligence information, the DCI said in a statement on Monday evening.
When police intercepted the trailer the two male suspects, ages 28 and 49, were traveling in, they were taken into custody near Kisii-Oyugis Road.
During a search, officers found, concealed in plain sight, three cartons containing 459 pieces of water gel explosives (V6) and two detonating cords. The DCI stated that as detectives continue their investigation, the accused are being detained lawfully at the Mosocho Police Station.
He stated that while the two are being prepared for their arraignment, the explosives and the vehicle are being kept as exhibits.
A fuel-sensitized explosive mixture called water gel explosive is made up of an aqueous ammonium nitrate solution that serves as the oxidant.
They are now the most popular civil blasting agents, nearly totally replacing dynamite in the majority of countries.
This is due to the fact that water gel explosives are generally safer and easier to use than dynamite, and they also tend to be less toxic and hazardous to manufacture, transport, and store.
They are frequently employed in the mining industry, such as in quarries to blast stone, and are also less expensive than traditional explosives.

A German and Kenyan national has been taken into custody by detectives for allegedly defrauding a Swiss citizen of over Sh52 million at a hotel in Nairobi’s Parklands area.
In a statement, the DCI stated that the two were getting ready to con their victim out of additional money when the officers from the DCI Operations Support Unit struck.
The DCI claims that the story starts in 2020 or thereabouts.
“The victim fell into the hands of the two scammers after he was informed by his ailing father, who had worked in Ghana, that about twenty years ago, he acquired some property in Ghana, which he later sold and left the proceeds under the custody of a trustee in Ghana.”
Equipped with this knowledge, the DCI stated that the Swiss national set out to find the treasure, made contact with a Ghanaian woman who agreed to serve as his interpreter for the transaction, and went on to meet and communicate with her in 2020.
The woman allegedly stated that he was aware of the man’s previous dealings and that he had verified to him that the revenues from the property sale totaled $62.8 million (Sh8.1 billion), but that the transfer of the funds required the establishment of a special purpose company.
The DCI claimed that the Swiss national had been duped into forming a company that would be used to send the money back to his nation of origin.
“But not before giving tax money and facilitating fees to con artists in Ghana, Dubai, Tanzania, Uganda, and subsequently Kenya “
The German national, who is still being held, allegedly met the Swiss national while she was in Kenya and then hired the Kenyan suspect.
The DCI stated that the Kenyan claimed to be the owner of a security firm that was employed to move and store the cargo, which was purportedly checked and kept in an airport in Nairobi.
The DCI stated that the Swiss citizen would eventually be refused access to the containers, requiring him to provide the suspects over $400,000 (Sh51.6m) in facilitation fees.
“He realized he had been duped after spending a fortune, so he filed a complaint at the Kenyan Mission in Switzerland,” DCI stated.
The Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs forwarded the case to the DCI, who then started the investigations that resulted in the scammers’ arrest.
Two matatus collided head-on at Research along the Mwea-Embu highway in Kirinyaga County on Monday, seriously injuring twenty-five persons.
According to police, the accident included two 14-seat matatus operated by Unique Shuttle and Neno Sacco. The injured passengers had tissue damage, cuts on their foreheads, and fractures in their wrists and legs.
The Neno Sacco matatu was heading in the opposite direction from the Unique Shuttle matatu, which was heading from Makutano towards Mwea.
The matatu headed toward Mwea was struck head-on by the approaching matatu after its driver neglected to maintain lane discipline and intruded into the other lane.
Nearby residents evacuated all passengers on board to a private hospital in Mutithi.
The injured people’s ages were reported by the police to be between 11 and 48.
The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) decision to lease the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to the Adani Group for 30 years has been subject to a judicial review challenge, which can be filed by the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) and the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) with approval from the High Court.
A conservatory injunction was granted by the Milimani court, presided over by Justice J. Chigiti, on Monday, stopping any further work on the planned lease until the matter is settled in full.
Many concerned parties, including the Kenya Aviation Workers Union, which has vehemently opposed the Adani proposal, are relieved that the stay order has been issued.
The court admitted the plea for a hearing even during recess, recognizing the case—registered under the case number HCJR/E199/2024—as urgent.
The decision to lease Kenya’s busiest airport to a foreign firm was allegedly taken without sufficient consultation or transparency, according to the LSK and KHRC’s comments. KAA and other respondents are required to address this issue in their responses, which are due in a few days.
Whether the lease arrangement may be extended or terminated completely, which has sparked worries about job security and national sovereignty, will be determined during the substantive hearing.
The matter will be heard again on October 8, 2024.
Hello folowers. Welcome to another day of our CEREALS BUSINESS TRAINING.
If you are thinking about getting into the cereals import business in Kenya today and tomorrow`s training may be the most important parts on this training for you.
The import-export business is extremely lucrative, exciting and prestigious. However, without the right information and being armed with the right tools, it’s easy to lose big in the import business.
But once you know the tricks of the trade, you can make amazing profits.
That’s what makes the import-export business so attractive. You rarely meet people in the import business who are not WILDLY successful.
But most importers are greedy and tight lipped. They don’t tell anybody about what they do or how they do it. They don’t want anybody else in their business.
They are on a runway cash train with no end in sight.
I know there is plenty of room for new importers.
Let me tell you a little bit more about me. I have been in the import business now for ten years. I started off importing candles, watches and home decorative items.
Eventually, I started importing pharmaceutical equipment and packaging equipment, even crowd control equipment and all sorts of different equipment and tools.
I have imported gift items; I have imported toys from UK; I have imported at least a lot of stuff that could be imported. That’s the beauty of this business.
The thing that really attracted me to the import business is that I never get bored easily. With the import business you never get bored. It changes every day. If you want to do something different, just pick another line of import business. It’s really easy.
I have friends too who import millions of shillings worth of merchandise. They actually do it every day. They bring in hundreds and hundreds of containers of goods to Kenya from China, Viet Nam, Tanzania, Uganda, South America, Columbia, USA, India and other places every year.
I have asked them and quizzed them and learned everything that they do, too. So I am pretty much of a repository of information and as far as I know I am among the very few guy that are willing to share.
REQUIREMENTS FOR IMPORTING GOODS IN KENYA
Except for goods exempted from levies and taxes, any good/s imported into Kenya must be cleared by customs. At that point, the dues and levies have to be paid before it’s released.
An importer should use a clearing agent when importing goods with Kenyan custom authority. The following documents are required:
A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from the PVoC agent for regulated products;
An import standards mark (ISM) when applicable;
Valid Commercial Invoice from the exporting firm
Valid pro forma invoices from the exporting firm.
Bill of Lading (sea cargo)/Airway Bill (air cargo)
Certificate of origin
Freight invoice for sea cargo
Permit/License for restricted goods
Personal or Taxpayer Identification Number (PIN certificate)
Exemption letter (in case goods are exempted)
Purchase Orders/Contracts
Packing List
Letter of Credit (if available)
Duties and taxes are levied on any imported and exported goods before releasing them from Customs; except goods qualifying for special privilege according to the laws and regulations, whereby their duties and taxes are exempted.
When engaging with your preferred clearing agent ensure you always have:
Import Declaration Forms (IDF)
Customs declaration (Entry)
A Certificate of Conformity (CoC) from the PVoC agent for regulated products
an import standards mark (ISM) when applicable
valid Commercial invoices from the exporting firm
valid pro forma invoices from the exporting firm
The customs clearing agent is then allowed to declare the goods you are importing on the customs portal known as SIMBA.
To import any commodity into Kenya, an importer will have to enlist the services of a clearing agent who will process the import documentation through Kenya Customs electronically on the Simba 2005 system and clear the goods on your behalf.
The clearing agent will ensure that all the required documentation are attached and submit it, on your behalf, to the Customs Services Department.
With the assistance of the clearing agent you are required to declare the goods you are importing in the customs system. You will be required to fill an Import declaration form which the clearing agent will use to make entries into the customs system.
The Customs will then check the documents and release the goods for verification.
Verification will be done by the Customs and other interested regulatory bodies e.g. Kenya Bureau of Standards to determine the type, quantity and quality of goods imported
The verification will determine the duties and tax payable on the imported goods. This is determined using the East African Community Common External Tariff
After this the agent will be issued with a release order.
With the release order you are required to pay tax, duty and port charges after which the goods will be released to the clearing agent (or importer).
After payment, you can now collect your goods and transport them to your destination
NOTE: Any person aged 18 years and above can import goods into the country.

We know that rates of duty are mentioned in Customs Tariff Act. However, Central Government has the power to grant exemption by passing notification in official gazette.
Such notification passed in official gazette granting exemption is called exemption notification.
Types of exemptions
1. General Exemption
If the National Government is satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, it may, by notification in the Official Gazette, exempt generally either absolutely or subject to such conditions (to be fulfilled before or after clearance) as may be specified in the notification, goods of any specified description from the whole or any part of duty of customs leviable thereon.
2. Special Exemption
If the National Government is satisfied that it is necessary in the public interest so to do, it may, by special order in each case, exempt from payment of duty, any goods on which duty is leviable only under circumstances of an exceptional nature to be stated in such order.
Further, no duty shall be collected if the amount of duty leviable is equal to, or less than, a specific amount.
Difference between General Exemption and Special Exemption?
General Exemption is done by notification in official gazette while Special exemption is done by special order. It is done in exceptional circumstances
Why are Exemptions Granted?
To control economy and promoting industrial growth of company
Sometimes exemption is granted on moral grounds like

IMPORT DUTIES
At various times, governments worldwide might restrict or tighten their country’s import using various fiscal tools. Kenya is no exception, as there are many duties and taxes payable by importers in the country. They include:
Import duties vary between 0%, 10%, and 25% of the value of the imported product as provided by the East Africa Community Common External Tariff (CET).
Secondly, we have the Excise duty, which is a form of indirect tax used to discourage the purchase of specific goods so long as they are excisable.
There’s also the value-added tax (VAT), which used to be 16% of the value of the product, but according to the VAT Act of 2013, it is now 0%.
Finally, we have Import Declaration Fees (IDF) & Railway Development Levy (RDL) as required by the Miscellaneous Fees and Levies Act of 2016, which is 2% and 1.5%.
INCENTIVES TO IMPORTS AND EXPORTS IN KENYA
To encourage Kenyan traders to engage in international trade, the Kenyan government has drawn up a lot of incentives aimed at making the sector attractive to willing investors. These incentives comprise programs and packages like the duty drawbacks, Manufacture Under Bond (MUB), Tax Remission for Exports Office (TREO) Scheme, and Export Processing Zones (EPZ) programs.
For duty drawbacks, the EA Customs Management Act allows the liability of import duty on goods imported into Kenya to manufacture other products meant for export. It also will enable products transferred to a free port or an export processing zone.
The MUB, on the other hand, accommodates the import of plant, machinery, industrial equipment, and raw materials without tax levied on them. This is provided that they will be used to manufacture goods meant for export.
TREO offers tax remission on inputs to make goods defined as essential for the domestic market. It’s also aimed at encouraging local manufacturers to export their products by remitting duty and VAT on raw materials used to manufacture goods.
Lastly, EPZ investors are entitled to attractive fiscal incentives coupled with simplified operating procedures and superior business and industrial infrastructure.
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AIDING EXPORT/IMPORT
Importation and exportation require a substantial amount of money. Sometimes it’s hard for the importer or exporter to shoulder it on their own.
Nevertheless, there are financial institutions that offer various services ranging from providing funds to purchase goods, cover freight costs, provide insurance, and even process taxes and duty payments.
These financial institutions include commercial banks like Equity Bank Kenya, Kenya Commercial Bank, Diamond Trust Bank of Kenya, Standard Chartered Bank Kenya, etc. with various credit facilities designed for importers and exporters.
We have Export-Import banks and development banks that facilitate international trade between countries. There’s also the option to use development banks which provide long term funding for your import/export business in Kenya.

Luckily, there are clearing and forwarding agents with years of experience who can help you understand the ins and outs of international shipping. A freight forwarder with trusted networks of shipping companies can get your goods to where they need to be without any stress on your part.
Difficulties of International Shipping
If you have done any amount of exporting before, you have probably run into major difficulties with international shipping. If you export regularly, you have probably had situations where customs forms that were previously unnecessary suddenly become mandatory, shipping partners communicate poorly or an increase in tariffs forces you to rework prices for your entire catalog. Sometimes your import partner can no longer handle the tasks that they used to, putting your whole business relationship in jeopardy.
The manpower required to research and implement solutions to these problems can be overwhelming, even if you have dealt with the same markets for decades. Sometimes you’ll even have to hire attorneys who deal with international export laws, and those fees can add up quickly. Plus, language barriers can exacerbate issues with importers or customs officials.
Even large businesses can struggle with these issues. While your first instinct may be to try to solve these problems on your own, it’s probably more efficient to hire an expert global freight forwarder who can dramatically reduce the time and resources you spend dealing with
shipping. No matter how specialized your field is, you can find a freight forwarding company who can handle it.
What to Look for in a Freight Forwarder
International freight forwarding companies vary in size and specialization, but there are some qualities no matter what kind of exports/imports you work with. You will have to deal with the forwarding company regularly, so you need to get someone you can trust.
Professional, clear communication is a must, especially when it comes time to deal with complicated questions. A good freight forwarding company can explain the ins and outs of your target market and will acknowledge when there are unknowns.
Honesty in service fees is also important. While sometimes shipping costs will fluctuate due to uncontrollable factors like fuel prices and other surcharges, a freight forwarder should communicate with you when there’s a significant change in those costs.
In some cases, a forwarder may give you a quote that doesn’t include export haulage or another key service, so always ask if the terms of the quote are unclear. If you’re new to import/exports, it’s especially important to get a forwarder who can explain all of the specialized terms to you.
Updates on shipping times, customs issues, and other matters should be conveyed in a timely manner. Sometimes a delay will be unavoidable, but a good freight forwarder will at least keep you updated and can consider steps to keep the delay from happening again.
Finally, look at how long a freight forwarder has been in business. International freight is a complex business, and the strength of a company’s contact network impacts how cheaply and reliably they can get the job done. Since the strength of a forwarder’s network can vary from country to country, ask your potential agent about how long they have been doing business in that country before you sign any contracts with them.

For a brief training before being deployed to Haiti, around 600 troops reported to police training camps.
According to officials conversant of the developments, they will join the more than 400 police officers who are currently fighting gangs in the nation’s capital, Port-au-Prince.
By next month, according to insiders, the new squad is expected to be deployed to Haiti.
Once they arrived in Nairobi for a week of training, the chosen officers broke off to prepare for their departure by reporting to various camps.
The deployment will bring the total number of personnel on the security operation in the Caribbean backed by the UN up to over 1,000.
Regarding plans to convert the Haiti operation into a complete UN peacekeeping mission, another insider stated that Kenya will need to get ready for an additional 500 personnel reserve.
The members of the team are chosen from the Border Patrol Unit, Anti Stock Theft Unit, General Service Unit, and Rapid Deployment Unit.
These policemen have experience working with Haitian staff and have paramilitary training.
They have taken over the capital city’s key port, hospital, palace, main thoroughfares, and airport since the first team arrived in June.
Major slums are already being freed from gang rule thanks to the local police.
