An assortment of goods valued at Sh145 million will be cleared from the Mombasa port after five companies failed to block two companies, the Kenya Ports Authority and Kenya Revenue Authority, from releasing the consignment held in four containers.

Mombasa High Court judge Kizito Magare ruled that the five companies did not prove they had a legal or equitable interest in the proclaimed goods capable of stopping the ensuing execution process.
