The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) launched its most recent online auction on August 19, 2026, offering the public the chance to bid on goods through its digital platform. KRA's statement on X indicated the auction began at 6pm on Tuesday, August 18, and would close at 8:55am on Friday, August 21. The auction can be accessed via KRA's online portal, ibid.kra.go.ke.
KRA has increasingly utilized online auctions to dispose of goods remaining uncollected at customs facilities after the mandated period. In June, KRA announced plans to auction abandoned items from Kisumu and Isebania customs warehouses under Section 42 of the East African Community Customs Management Act. These items, including ethanol, Super Match cigarettes, shoes, toys, perfumes, sandals, window frames, wire scrap, and empty drums, were scheduled to be auctioned from August 31 to September 4, 2026. KRA has invited bidders to inspect the goods at the warehouses on August 27 and 28, 2026.
