    What court said about Housing Levy

    A three-judge bench ruled that President William Ruto's Housing levy is constitutional.

    The Tuesday, October 22 ruling was made by justices; Olga Sewe, John Chigiti and Josephine Mongare.

    They were handling the six petitions which were since been consolidated.

    In the ruling, the judges said the Housing Levy was properly enacted.

    The three-judge bench also said the Housing Levy was in accordance with the Constitution and that public participation was adequate.

    "It is clear that the National Assembly and the Senate focused on stakeholders for the public participation. It cannot be denied that the public participation took place," the three-judge bench said.

    "It is our finding that the levy is properly in place and in accordance with the Constitution."
