High Court Upholds Affordable Housing Bill Amidst Legal Challenge

The High Court has rejected a legal challenge against the Affordable Housing Bill 2023.

The case, brought by activist Lawrence Opiuo, argued that the bill was rushed through without proper public input.

Justice Mwanaisha Shariff affirmed that the National Assembly had fulfilled its obligations regarding public participation.
