The Treasury is targeting at least Sh55.8 billion from administrative fees and charges for services such as issuing national identity cards (IDs), passports, work permits and marriage certificates in the next financial year starting July, up from Sh28.3 billion in the current year.
The additional billions are crucial in a year when the State will struggle for additional cash after President William Ruto bowed to public demands to axe new tax measures contained in the controversial Finance Bill, 2024, which would have yielded Sh303 billion in fresh collections for the exchequer.
