Nairobi, Feb. 28 -- Attorney-General Justin Muturi has cautioned the Kenya Revenue Authority(KRA) against making any collections from the affordable housing levy which was declared illegal by the Court of Appeal on January 26, 2024.

KRA Commissioner-General Humprey Wattanga had in a February 12,2024 letter sought guidance from the AG on the government's position on the controversial levy.

Mr Muturi told KRA that the levy had no legal basis at the time of the Court decision hence the taxman should not make collections.

"The upshot of this is that there is no legal basis on which the housing levy as provided in section 84 of the Finance Act can be implemented," the AG said in a February 21,2024 letter to Mr Wattanga.
