Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>National Assembly Deputy Speaker Gladys Shollei has criticized the courts over its decision to suspend the implementation of the Finance Act.<\/p>\n

Shollei said the decision was likely to affect the government’s plan to deliver on its obligations to Kenyans.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Uasin Gishu, the woman representative said the court ought to have considered the views of the majority rather than a few.<\/p>\n

“The argument that should be made before the court is very clear. There will there be no irreparable harm and damage to the economy of this country if the Finance Act is implemented,” she said.<\/p>\n

She said if the Act is not implemented, the country risks defaulting on loans forcing the government to undertake austerity measures.<\/p>\n

“This is something serious. Soon you will have no fuel for cars and we shall go down the drain. I do hope judges are alive to this fact,” she said.<\/p>\n

The Court will on Monday, July 10, rule on the matter.<\/p>\n

Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah and Lawyer Otiende Omollo filed the case seeking to stop the implementation of the Act.<\/p>\n

They argued that the state will suffer no harm if the orders are extended and conservatory orders issued.<\/p>\n

In their case, they have claimed that some sections threaten the right to property, access to justice and violate the Constitution in general.<\/p>\n
