Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) plans to destroy dozens of high-end vehicles and dispose of other confiscated luxury items from traders and importers who have failed to pay taxes.

The goods were seized at different entry points, and KRA says it will either auction them off or destroy them if the owners do not pay the required taxes within 30 days.
