National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has taken the Housing Levy case to the Supreme Court.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has taken the Housing Levy case to the Supreme Court by filing a notice of appeal.
In the notice, the National Assembly and Speaker of the National Assembly, Moses Wetang'ula, expressed their intention to appeal the entire ruling delivered by Justices Lydia Achode, John Mativo, and Mwaniki Gachoka on January 26.
"The National Assembly and the Speaker of the National Assembly, being dissatisfied with the decision of the Court of Appeal, intend to appeal to the Supreme Court against the whole ruling," states the notice.
On January 26, the government faced a significant setback as the Court of Appeal refused to suspend orders preventing the state from deducting the housing levy from Kenyans. Consequently, the housing levy remained suspended as declared by the High Court.
The appellate judges emphasized the public interest in hearing the appeals first, stating that affirming the constitutional invalidity of the challenged laws could have far-reaching consequences that might not be easily reversed.
