The Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) and various lobby groups have filed a new petition at the High Court challenging President William Ruto's affordable housing levy, arguing it is unconstitutional and detrimental to Kenyans.

• The petition claims the levy has driven many Kenyans into poverty and is being used as a political tool for favoritism, citing the allocation of houses to teachers and Harambee Stars players.
• The levy imposes a mandatory 1.5 percent deduction on employees' gross salaries, matched by employers, to fund the National Housing Development Fund.
• The petitioners, including Transparency International Kenya and the Institute for Social Accountability, argue the levy has negatively impacted over 20 million Kenyans in the informal sector and has not advanced the right to housing.
• Despite a previous ruling upholding the levy's constitutionality, KHRC insists its petition is based on new grounds, particularly economic retrogression and politicization of public resources.
