The Court of Appeal Court Thursday declined to grant any interim orders staying the ruling of Justice Mugure Thande which suspended implementation of Finance Act, 2023.
Instead, the court said it will on July 28 render its decision on whether it will set aside an order suspending the implementation of the Finance Act.
Justice Mohamed Warsame, Kathurima M’Inoti, and Hello Omondi set the date after Cabinet Secretary for Treasury Professor Njuguna Ndungu said the suspension of the Act is affecting government operations.
Ndungu pleaded with the court saying there will be a budgetary crisis if the order is not lifted.
On Monday, Chief Justice Martha Koome appointed a three-judge bench to hear the case challenging the implementation of the
Finance Act, 2023 filed by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah.
The three are justices David Majanja, Lawrence Mogambi, and Christine Meoli.
The Finance Act 2023 was suspended for among others violating the constitution.
