Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi is facing a lawsuit over allegations of illegally waiving import duty on 490,000 metric tonnes of rice worth Sh21 billion.

• Sh21 billion in waived duty taxes on imported rice.
• Human rights activists, led by Genesis For Human Rights, have filed the petition.
• The activists argue that Mbadi lacks the constitutional authority to issue such waivers, which are reserved for the legislature or East African Community (EAC) Council Ministers.
