Miraa traders face Sh5m loss as Somalia blocks cargo at JKIA
Nyambene Miraa Traders Association spokesman Kimathi Munjuri addresses journalists in Meru on May 10, 2021. Traders are counting losses as 12 tonnes of miraa destined for Somalia remain stuck at JKIA after Somali authorities declined to clear it for export.
Overzealous miraa traders are staring at losses estimated to be close to Sh5 million after the Somali Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) warned that the herb remains illegal in the country.
