The officer, who is not allowed to speak to media for he is of lower rank within the police force, said the uncustomed commodities were being ferried using donkey carts.
“We have officers at the border entry point but due to laxity this illegal business goes on uncontrolled,” said our source.
He said among the impounded commodities are 88 cartons of powder milk, 15 bags of brown sugar weighing 50kg each, 34 bags of rice 50kg each and 40 bags of omo powder soap.
“All these have a street value of Sh1.2 million and five donkey carts were being used for transportation,” he said.
He said no arrests were made during the operation.
“We are holding the five donkeys and however claims the ownership will help us unfold this puzzle,” said our source who was part of the dragnet.
