PRIME Tech firm sues KRA over ‘copycat’ digital cargo system 03.08.2026

Greenworld Big Data Limited has filed a lawsuit against the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, seeking to halt the implementation of KRA's Advance Cargo Declaration (ACD) platform, scheduled for August 3, 2026. The tech firm alleges that KRA copied its proprietary Advanced Cargo Information Declaration (ACID) system, which was presented to tax officials in 2023. The company is seeking an urgent court order to block the ACD rollout or, alternatively, compel KRA to pay a 30% royalty on all revenue and efficiencies generated by the platform.
