A legal suit has been initiated against the government challenging the legitimacy of a statute that has granted more than Sh188 billion in tax exemptions to Blue Nile Rolling Mills Ltd.
In documents filed before Milimani High Court, lawyer Apollo Mboya faults the government for unfairly introducing Special Operating Framework Arrangements (SOFA).
