When looking for legal information in Kenya`s laws, you often need to understand what the law looked like not only today, but also a few years ago. The nature of the law is such that it changes, and if you need to understand what was legally in place at the time, it can be quite difficult to do so. The amount of information you have to work with can be overwhelming. Therefore, we are pleased to include a very powerful feature in Kenya`s new laws, Point in Time. This feature allows you to go back in time to see what an action might have looked like in its previously modified shapes. For example, you may need to see what the Income Tax Act looked like in 2004, well, with Point in Time, you can do just that. To use the feature, all you have to do is search for an act and load it as usual. If the law has already been amended, you will notice a “calendar” drop-down menu at the top of the law. Simply click on the drop-down menu and select a date (each date refers to a previous modified version of the act you are viewing), and the system will load that particular version. If you want to revert to the current version, click the Point in Time drop-down menu again and select the top date, which is the current version.
