Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The Judicial Service Commission has said the membership of the Tax Appeals Tribunal is in line with the Tax Appeals Tribunal Act No 7 of 2022.<\/p>\n

JSC Registrar Winfrida Mokaya said on Thursday the tribunal comprises 20 members in line with provisions of the Act.<\/p>\n

She said on June 3, 2022, the Commission appointed nine members of the tribunal consisting four advocates and five non-legal members.<\/p>\n

Mokaya said the Act provides that at least five and not more than nine of the members should be Advocates of the High Court.<\/p>\n

She said shortly after the appointment, one of the non-legal members resigned on July 8, 2022, and the position was declared vacant five days later.<\/p>\n

The position was filled on September 29, 2022.<\/p>\n

On April 6, 2023, she said the JSC appointed another 12 members of the Tribunal.<\/p>\n

The new appointees included five advocates and seven non-legal members.<\/p>\n

On May 10, 2023, the Commission received the resignation of one of the legal members appointed in 2022.<\/p>\n

Mokaya said the resignation of he member followed his appointment to the National Police Service Commission by President William Ruto via a Gazette notice dated May 8, 2023.<\/p>\n

This brought the number of members of the Tax Appeals Tribunal to 20 as per the 2022 Act.<\/p>\n

The number was confirmed by Communications Advisor to the Chief Justice Michael Mumo in communication with the Star.<\/p>\n

The Tax Appeals Tribunal (Amendment) Act No 7 of 2022 provides that Tribunal membership shall consist of a chairperson and not less than 15 persons and not more than 20 persons.<\/p>\n
