The Kenya Kwanza administration has been left in disbelief after the court ordered a stay on the Finance Act, which had been signed by President William Ruto this week.
Led by National Assembly Finance Committee Chair Kuria Kimani, he expressed surprise at the court’s decision to bar anything related to the bill.
Kuria, whose committee is responsible for reviewing tax policies, maintained that they had taken into consideration all legal provisions when reviewing the Finance Bill, 2023 before it was tabled in Parliament.
MP Kuria claimed that Ruto’s legal team had conducted thorough research and assured that everything was in line with the law.
However, in a turn of events, activist Okiya Omtatah managed to convince the honorable court that the passed act was unconstitutional.
On Friday, the judge read conservatory orders suspending the implementation of Finance Act, 2023.
In other important updates, Azimio One Kenya leader Raila Odinga was in Homa Bay County for a series of events, including the launch of a stadium and presiding over Luo functions.
