The T-dependence of the resistivity \rho of a start-of-the-art polycrystalline sample of CeFe₄Sb₁₂ was measured between 5 and 300 K. The cerium contribution to the resistivity, \rho (Ce) was obtained by substracting the resistivity of LaFe₄Sb₁₂. As a function of T, \rho (Ce) exhibits a maximum near 150 K. This maximum is attributed to a combination of a Crystal Electric Field (CEF) and the Kondo effect. This interpretation is consistent with Hall data in the same temperature range. Our heat capacity data confirm that the electronic specific heat coefficient \gamma for LaFe₄Sb₁₂ is larger than that for CeFe₄Sb₁₂. The Debye temperatures of both materials are near 250 K.
