The Consolidated Cargo debate should therefore not be reduced to a simple argument about taxation. It also concerns how imported goods are valued, how declarations are verified and whether all importers are operating under fair customs rules. #CargoFacts
A section of National Assembly members has called for the dissolution of the Senate, questioning its relevance after the Upper House rejected the Kenya Roads (Amendment) Bill, 2025, in its entirety.
Legislators argued that the National Assembly could handle the country's legislative and oversight functions without the Senate, with some proposing constitutional changes to transfer the Senate's responsibilities.
The rejected Bill sought to reclassify roads and distribute funds from the Road Maintenance Levy Fund to both national road agencies and county governments. The Council of Governors had opposed the proposed allocation, arguing that counties should receive a larger share.

The Court of Appeal has ruled that technology services performed in Kenya can qualify as exported services for VAT purposes, even when the final product incorporating those services is later used by Kenyan businesses.
The decision overturned a Sh40.6 million VAT assessment against a Kenyan technology company that provided software and hardware maintenance services to foreign affiliates, which were then integrated into systems supplied to Kenyan financial institutions.
The court held that the determining factor is where the service is consumed, not where it is performed, and found that the foreign companies were the primary consumers of the specific services provided.
However, the court also made clear that the determination depends on actual contractual arrangements, the nature of the service, and the identity of the consumer, meaning not every service performed for a foreign company will automatically qualify as an export.
