Kenya's President William Ruto's affordable housing plan has suffered a major blow after the Court of Appeal declined to extend an order allowing the government to continue collecting the housing levy.
A bench of three judges on Friday morning ruled that public interest tilts in favour of not granting the order sought by the government.
