A Kenyan court has declared as unconstitutional a 1.5% housing levy that was imposed by the government as part of a finance law in July.
A three-judge bench ruled that the tax lacked a comprehensive legal framework and was irrational.
The introduction of the housing levy, among other taxes, fuelled protests amid a high cost of living.
The government has asked the court for a stay of the judgement for 45 days as it decides on the next course of action.
