Busia Senator Okiya Omtata is back in court with an amendment to his petition challenging the Finance Act 2023. The amended suit now includes the speaker of the National Assembly. Other parties included as interested parties are the Commissioner General KRA, the Senate, COFEK Kenya, and the Kenya Export Floriculture Allied Workers Union. Omtatah says that the Finance Act contains amendments to several laws that have nothing to do with raising revenue and laws that affect the work of the Senate to protect the interests of counties and their governments. he also wants the court to quash some sections of the original finance bill 2023 which did not get input from the senate. The amendment comes after the courts declined on two occasions to grant orders halting the implementation of the bill that has since been signed into law
