Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) are engaged in a blame game over the theft of 124 containers at the Mombasa port in 2016.

So far, 31 employees from the two State organisations have been charged with causing colossal losses to the exchequer by allowing the containers to leave the port without paying taxes.
