KRA has the legal power to auction goods owned by or destined for Kenyan parastatals under Section 42 of the East African Community Customs Management Act, 2004.
If goods, including state corporation consignments, are not cleared from customs warehouses within 30 days, KRA classifies them as abandoned and sells them to recover duty, taxes, and storage charges.
KRA publishes Kenya Gazette notices before auctioning unclaimed cargo, including government equipment like water pipes.
However, core parastatal assets such as land and buildings fall under separate privatisation laws.
