The High Court in Mombasa has dismissed an application seeking to strike out a petition challenging plans by the government to remove the 35 percent duty on edible oils and substitute it with a 10 percent export and investment promotion levy.
Justice Olga Sewe dismissed the application by the Kenya National Trading Corporation (KNTC) stating that although another case, challenging the importation of duty-free edible oil, by the State agency, had been dismissed in January, the matter was not resolved substantively.
