Haimanot Teferra, the IMF Mission Chief for Kenya, stated during a media briefing in Nairobi on Wednesday that depending on the court’s ruling on the Finance Act, discussions with the authorities will be conducted to examine contingency plans. The IMF will consider potential adjustments if certain parts of the act are invalidated by the High Court or if the law’s implementation is entirely blocked.
