The High Court has stopped Kenya Revenue Authority from introducing a new cargo clearance system at the port of Mombasa.
The taxman was ordered to stop implementing the Centralisation of Head Verification Officers (CHVO) because it failed to conduct public participation.
Justice Julius Ng’arng’ar noted that public participation is a necessary constitutional imperative.
“It is trite fact and admitted by the respondents that public participation was not done in respect to the changes effected by the respondents,” he ruled.
