EPRA boss Daniel Kiptoo summoned by court for disobeying orders on Finance Act
Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) Director General Daniel Kiptoo Bargoria has been ordered to appear before court on August 13 for disobeying court orders on Finance Act 2023.
The High Court issued the summon on Monday during a mention of the Finance Act petition.
Kiptoo was ordered to appear before court to show cause why he should not be held in contempt of court for disobeying orders issued by Justice Mugure Thande on the suspension of Finance Act 2023.
The contempt case against the EPRA boss was filed by Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah.
He is accused of acting against a court order that temporarily suspended the implementation of the Finance Act, 2023, when EPRA increased the VAT on fuel from 8% to 16% on June 30, 2023.
