Supreme Court Stand on The Finance Act Nullification Order

The Supreme Court  has issued a stay order temporarily overturning the Court of Appeal’s order that had nullified the Finance Act 2023 in its entirety on 20th August 2024.

This decision by the Supreme Court enables the government to keep implementing the Finance Act 2023 while the legal dispute continues with the hearing set to take place on 10th and 11th September 2024.

“A conservatory order is hereby issued suspending and staying the declarations in Orders iii, iv, vi, vii & ix(i) issued in the Court of Appeal judgement dated 31st July, 2024 in Civil Appeals Nos. E003, E016, E021, E049, E064 & E080 of 2024 (Consolidated) pending the hearing and determination of the consolidated appeal before this Court. The consolidated appeals shall be set for hearing virtually- on 10th and 11th September 2024 at 9 am each day,” a statement says.

The Court of Appeal's previous judgement on July 31st 2024 had nullified the Finance Act 2023 as null,void and unconstitutional.

The 2023 Finance Act was a subject of intense scrutiny and legal disputes, mainly because of controversial measures like raising the top personal income tax( PAYE) rate to 32.5% for incomes between Ksh500,000 and Ksh800,000, and 35% for earnings above Ksh800,000 . It also imposed a housing tax, and significantly increased the fuel value-added tax from 16 per cent to 8 per cent.
