The 15-member National Assembly’s Finance and National Planning committee will over the next five days determine the fate of the tax proposals in the contentious Finance Bill, 2024, which has drawn sharp criticism from industry groups and individual taxpayers.
The committee, dominated by lawmakers allied to the governing Kenya Kwanza coalition, has retreated to Naivasha to compile its report after a rigorous two-week engagement with members of the public on the Bill, which if approved as is, will increase various taxes and introduce new ones.
