The Consumers Federation of Kenya (COFEK) has filed a petition at the High Court seeking to block six clauses in the Finance Bill, 2026, citing violations of constitutional rights.

• COFEK is challenging provisions related to taxes on scrap metal, virtual assets, VAT, and KRA's administrative powers.
• The lobby group argues the bill infringes on consumer rights, privacy, and public participation.
• COFEK seeks conservatory orders to suspend the implementation of the contested clauses pending the court's determination.
