A dispute between Kenya International Freight Warehousing and the Kenya Revenue Authority over increased taxes has led to confrontations and sparked protests.

Kifwa has disrupted several sectors because of a 100 per cent surge in taxes. It wants commissioner Julius Musyoki sacked for allegedly influencing the increase.

Kifwa says Commissioner General John Njiriani (pictured) is controlled by junior staff.
