A Kenyan professional has filed a petition in the High Court challenging the Kenya Revenue Authority's (KRA) use of agency notices to recover taxes, arguing the practice violates constitutional rights.

• The petitioner, Dr. Magare Gikenyi, is contesting Section 56 of the Tax Procedures Act.
• This section allows the KRA to appoint third parties, such as banks, to recover disputed tax directly from taxpayers' accounts.
• Dr. Gikenyi argues this undermines constitutional guarantees such as fair administrative action and access to justice.
