A 40-feet container imported with alcoholic beverages has been discovered with empty bottles during a verification exercise by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

The container is among 104 others containing assorted expired goods lined up for destruction at the Port of Mombasa after importers failed to pay duty on time.
