The short answer
A western Kenya county town serving a sugarcane and maize farming area, with cross-border trade towards Uganda through Malaba. Cane payments and the maize harvest set the spending calendar; the Malaba corridor sustains transport and wholesale trade. What differs locally is the trading pattern rather than the paperwork: this page holds the commercial picture, and the eTIMS requirements themselves stay on the pages that cite KRA for them.
