Kenyan Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has publicly opposed a proposed customs duty increase by the Kenya Revenue Authority, which would add Ksh3.2 million to the cost of consolidated cargo. Nyoro, a leader in the People’s Party of Kenya, has aligned himself with small-scale traders who are protesting the change, arguing it would negatively impact their businesses. The proposed increase has sparked concern among traders operating in key commercial areas such as Eastleigh, Nairobi CBD, and others. Nyoro’s stance reflects growing tensions between local business communities and government regulatory policies. The debate highlights the challenges faced by traders in navigating rising operational costs.
