The UN report claimed Kenyan companies and KDF are the leading participants in the illegal charcoal export through the Kismayo port worth Sh22 billion annually.
That seems like a lot of cash, around 1.8 billion per month around 62 million per day assuming they sell a gunia at around kes 500, that comes to around 120,000 gunias per day - thats crazy logistics, considering the state of roads and security in that region. Did they give bank accounts? This is alot of money to hide under the mattress. Not sure but considering that Journalists for Justice claimed at least Sh40 billion worth of sugar and charcoal is traded in Kismayo, those figures are big, especially with the annual budget of Somalia being around usd 200m, but who knows the truth, anything passes as a fact nowadays.
