Unclaimed motor vehicles to be destroyed in April: KRA

The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) issued a gazette notice declaring their intention to dispose unclaimed motor vehicles in part of the list of the goods set to be destroyed by the taxman.

Chief manager in charge of Rift Valley, Simon Luseno, disclosed that none of the goods had been claimed by any individual or company.

Mr Luseno also divulged the existence 69 vehicles held at police stations in the area with fake registration numbers.

The National Police Service (NPS) Act gives police powers to auction such vehicles but has to get consent and directions from a magistrate.
