LSK to sue KRA for contempt of court on housing levy
The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) has said it will initiate contempt of court proceedings against the Kenya Revenue of Authority commissioner general over alleged illegal deduction of housing levy.
Addressing the press Monday, LSK president-elect Faith Odhiambo said there was no legal basis for the taxman including other state agencies to deduct the funds from employees.
It has also called on Kenyans who may have fallen victims to volunteer the information to the LSK.
"We call upon all employees who have suffered this illegal deduction to get in touch with the LSK through the email address lsk@lsk.or.ke and share their payslips," said Odhiambo.
This, she pointed out, is to facilitate the filing of the application seeking a refund of the illegally deducted dues.
