The court paused these changes after some people said the new rules might not have followed the law properly and were not clear. The eTA was meant to help with security and tracking visitors, but many saw it as just another fee.
Other parts of the new rules included:
Airlines giving detailed passenger information before flights arrive.
Stricter checks for people applying for Kenyan citizenship.
Bans on people who have ties to foreign armies that might harm Kenya.
The judge also stopped the government from using any money made from the eTA until the court makes a final decision. All the key people involved—like the Interior Ministry and Immigration Department—must now bring all documents and records to court.
The court will look at the case again on June 25.
