The Kenya Flower Council (KFC), has rejected the decision by the Nakuru County Government to impose cess on flower exports.
They termed the Sh400-per-tonne cess illegal and unconstitutional.
The council said it has moved to court to stop the illegal levy, saying that the issue was prosecuted in 2018 and the county was barred from collecting cess from them.
