President Uhuru Kenyatta’s last budget will put his successor under pressure to raise Sh350.7 billion in additional revenue to implement his preferred projects, setting up Kenyans for higher taxation and aggressive pursuit of tax cheats.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Ukur Yatani will Thursday afternoon reveal to MPs how he will fund the record Sh3.31 trillion budget for the year starting July in a ritual that will take place two months earlier due to the August 9 poll.
