MPs have raised the Railway Development Levy (RDL) from 1.5 percent to 2.5 percent of all imported goods as part of the amendments to the Finance Bill 2024 that could up the cost of shipments from abroad.
The proposal to adjust the levy upwards was made by the Finance and Planning Committee in its report on the Bill, saying that the additional money collected should go towards the development of an electric light rail system in Nairobi.
