Section of Kenyans hasn’t taken it lightly that the taxman burnt cache of sex toys seized at Eldoret International Airport.
Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) intercepted and destroyed pleasure toys worth Kes 300, 000 at Eldoret airport on Wednesday.
KRA North Rift coordinator Florence Otori said the self-pleasure toys were meant for sale to women and female university students in the area.
Pornographic material, cigarettes, fake seeds and medicines were among other items that were seized and destroyed in an inferno by KRA.
The taxman’s decision to set ablaze the sex toys hasn’t gone down well with section of Kenyans who were quick to poke holes in the entire operation.
Critics argue KRA was quick to destroy pleasure toys but if the items seized were narcotics they wouldn’t have been quick with their PR.
Some people argued that the taxman had no business denying ladies a chance to pleasure themselves with ‘legal items’. Below are some of the reactions from Kenyans who were not impressed by KRA decision to destroy sex toys:
Trevor Johnston: Acha wanawake wajiiingie nn mbaya
Peterg123: This is absurd..people should have access to s#x toys if they wish. many women are lonely at home while the partner is away with barmaids……. and just what are “fake seeds”?
No Matusi: Counterfeit drugs should be burned immediately they are caught. It is too dangerous
Guy Byron: This is gonna piss off a lot of women who were long waiting for the orgazam machines, many had already bought sexy nightdresses.
OneVillager: We really do things the Kenyan way. KRA seems to be more interested in PR than eliminating illicit trade in dangerous contraband. Why not be patient, wait for and arrest the addressee of the consignment first, then destroy the goods later?
danson ungaro: half shoddy – half PR ; they did’t just drop from the sky …all addresses are there including recipients location yet it seems its a closed case
Muthomi Timothy: Are they illegal? Or were they meant for underage kids? If the answer to all or either of these questions is no, they I don’t see the point of confiscating them.
Robert Rono: Were they counterfeit goods at first,
Wilson Sirwongot: Counterfeit penis. Donge.
