Industrialization secretary Adan Mohamed has urged the agencies to step their manadate and curb the rising counterfeits in the country. 

“The three agencies must do more to ensure no substandard goods come into Kenya. They must also pull up their socks in ensuring firms which avoid paying taxes on imported goods and in turn taking advantage of their local peers are stopped,” said Mr Mohamed. 

Kenya is ranked among the largest markets for counterfeit goods in East Africa, and serves as the distribution hub for the region.
