Some years ago, shows and trade fairs were the preserve of business organisations that took part with the sole aim of maximising profits.
Today, other organisations, including Government agencies, are taking an interest in trade fairs where they get the change to exhibit their products and services. For instance, the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has been conspicuous at the ongoing Agricultural Society of Kenya Show in Kisumu. One may argue that KRA does not need to take part in trade fairs. After all, Kenyans are obliged by law to pay taxes.
