President Ruto vows to appeal court decision on housing levy
President William Ruto speaks to a construction worker in Ol Kalau, Nyandarua County during the launch of the affordable housing project on January 11, 2024.
On January 4, the Court of Appeal allowed the government to continue collecting the controversial housing levy.
President Ruto has been a vocal advocate of the Housing levy and has condemned those who have gone to the courts to stop the implementation of the fund.
President William Ruto has hit out at the Judiciary over the housing levy ruling, vowing that the programme will continue despite the Court of Appeal’s verdict halting it.
The appellate court on Friday declined to extend an order allowing the government to continue collecting the housing levy, meaning that the state will be compelled to stop deducting money from salaried workers.
