President Uhuru Kenyatta has received yet another blow in court after a judge quashed his decision to co-opt Nairobi Metropolitan Services @NMS_Kenya Director-General Mohamed Badi into the Cabinet. - @NationAfrica
Justice Anthony Mrima declared that the President's decision was in contravention of the Constitution, illegal and void 'ab initio' (from the beginning).
While ruling on a petition filed by Kandara MP Alice Wahome, an ally-turned foe of President Kenyatta, the judge also issued an order of prohibition barring Major-General Badi from attending any Cabinet and Cabinet Committee meetings, or discharging any functions of the Cabinet.

.@KeEquityBank parent company, Equity Group Holdings Ltd (EGHL) has won an Sh800M tax dispute against @KRACare. KRA was demanding the money as capital gains tax from asset transfers by the lender in 2014. - @StandardKenya
However, commercial Court judge John Mativo allowed Equity’s appeal after finding that the commissioner of domestic taxes failed to render his decision within the timelines set by the law.
The lender had lost its case before the Tax Appeals Tribunal. Justice Mativo ruled that Parliament set 60 days as the deadline for the commissioner to either allow or dismiss an objection.

If Lands Cabinet Secretary Farida Karoney decided to sack all corrupt workers at her ministry, then she would have almost no one left to serve Kenyans. - @NationAfrica
The Lands CS is bang in the middle of converting millions of dusty, worn out papers that Kenyans treasure as title deeds into credible digital documents that can be used as evidence of property ownership and underwrite billions of shillings worth of transactions across Kenya.
Ms Karoney, therefore, needs the honest input of each and every worker at Ardhi House, the Lands ministry headquarters in Nairobi, but the corruption cartels are out to sabotage her efforts.

.@NAssemblyKE @SpeakerJBMuturi on Tuesday rallied the House to amend the law and scrap a tax blamed for rising fuel prices. - @NationAfrica
It was a sharp contrast to three years ago, when MPs jeered him for bulldozing through a vote that imposed the levy on petroleum products.
In a stormy session on September 20, 2018, the government side pushed through the President’s @StateHouseKenya memorandum that imposed 8% VAT on petroleum products, which MPs now want to scrap in response to a public uproar.
