The government has allowed duty-free importation of dates ahead of Ramadhan.

Ramadhan is a holy month of fasting practised by the Muslim faithful. In a letter to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani said that the government has waived all fees on importation of dates as a gesture to the Muslim faithful.
