Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga sought to introduce a new affidavit. [File, Standard]

The Court of Appeal on Monday dismissed an application seeking to introduce a new affidavit by Housing Principal Secretary Charles Hinga in support of the government’s case for the continuation of Housing Levy deductions.

In the affidavit, Hinga claimed that the affordable housing project had been scaled up, enjoyed public support, and that some Kenyans had already received houses.
