The newly elected officials of the Kenya International Freight and Warehousing Association (KIFWA) have committed to collaborate with the government to curb the entry of illicit goods and facilitate the payment of customs duties to the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

Fredrick Oloo was unanimously elected as the KIFWA National Chairman, succeeding Roy Mwathi, who led the association for five years.

As one of the main stakeholders in cargo clearing, KIFWA boasts a membership of over 2,000.

No cargo can leave the country's commercial ports without the involvement of Clearing Agents.
