Taxes on fuel, M-Pesa transfers and an Sh18 a litre levy on kerosene are contained in 23 laws that were yesterday declared illegal after the High Court ruled were passed without the input of the Senate.

The High Court Thursday quashed the laws, including the Finance Act 2018, the Tax Laws (Amendments) and the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendment), that were passed by the National Assembly without the Senate’s nod.
