The Court of Appeal has dismissed the government’s request to continue collecting the convenience fee charged on Kenyans accessing services through the e-Citizen platform.

Appellate judges Daniel Musinga, Francis Tuiyott and Pauline Nyamweya ruled unanimously that Kenyans should not keep paying the Sh5 to Sh50 fee, which had already been declared unconstitutional.
