Laikipia County MP, Hon. Jane Kagiri has urged the government to urgently address the recent decision by the Government of the United Republic of Tanzania to prohibit certain business operations by non-citizens, a move that could significantly affect Kenyan traders.

Hon. Kagiri sought a statement from the Leader of the Majority Party regarding the implications of the new directive, and the steps being taken to safeguard Kenya’s trade interests.

The war against addiction to gambling has made a major win after the High Court, dismissed a Petition against enactment of implementation several clauses of the Excise Duty Act, 2015, as amended by the Finance Act, 2023.

In the decision delivered by, Justice Stephen Mbungi, sitting in Kakamega, the High Court found that enactment of the said clauses on the gambling-related taxes had not violated the Constitution, and did not amount to double taxation ad alleged by the Petitioner.
