Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) will soon have sniffer dogs at the border points and airports trained to detect currency in its latest fight against tax evasion and money laundering. Through its Customs and Border Control Department, the authority said plans are at an advanced stage to start training these canines to sniff out cash in the same manner they detect drugs or arms.
This comes at a time customs officials have intercepted individuals both nationals and foreigners, with huge sums of unexplained cash that the government fears are illicit.
The law requires cash of $10,000 (Sh1.26 million) and above to be declared in what is aimed at fighting money laundering.
