The High Court in Kakamega has reversed an order releasing a truck intercepted last year offloading contraband cigarettes with a tax implication of Sh26 million.

In a ruling last month, Justice Alice Bett reversed the order which was issued by Kakamega chief magistrate in January after an application by the truck owner.
