The Court of Appeal has stopped Baringo County Government in its bid to impose cess fees on forest products extracted by Raiply Woods and Timsales.
In a court judgment that saw the Baringo County government ordered to compensate the two logging companies, Sh3,000,000 each, Justice Daniel Musinga and Justice Agnes Murgor established that there was no Act of Parliament that allowed the county government to impose a cess levy on forest produce from State forests.
