Just the other week the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) intercepted and impounded three high-end fuel guzzlers at the Mombasa Port which were on transit to Uganda.
The three vehicles – Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Vogue, and Land Rover Discovery – which were confirmed stolen in Interpol’s motor vehicles database were reportedly concealed in a container which was supposed to be ferrying household goods.
