The High Court in Homa Bay has temporarily suspended revenue collection until a case filed by a resident, challenging the introduction of a cashless system, is heard and determined.

In the suit, Evans Oloo, a trader, accuses Governor Gladys Wanga's administration of failing to conduct public participation before rolling out the digital revenue collection system.
