Tax collections in July grew at the slowest pace in over a decade, excluding the Covid-19 pandemic period, signifying the effects of business disruptions following the deadly Gen Z protests, as the Treasury increased reliance on costly overdrafts.

Data released by Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi shows that tax collection in the first month of the fiscal year grew 2.87 percent to Sh159.51 billion compared to the same period last year.
