Kenya Court Backs Import Levy to Fund China-Backed Rail Project

In a significant decision, Kenya's court upheld the legality of an import levy intended to fund the construction and operation of a high-speed railway project backed by China. This ruling paves the way for the project to move forward with financial backing, reinforcing Kenya's strategic partnership with China.
