Trade ministry now backs import tax on clinker
Ministry of Investments, Trade and Industry (MITI) Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui makes his remarks during the 2025 Quarter One (Q1 2025) State of the Oil Industry Briefing held on March 25, 2025 at Serena Hotel.
The Trade ministry has officially terminated its plans to repeal the controversial 17.5 percent levy on imported clinker, ending a push-pull with President William Ruto, who had opposed proposals to scrap the controversial tax.
Trade Cabinet Secretary Lee Kinyanjui, said the ministry has dropped earlier plans to repeal the levy, citing improved local production of the raw material used for manufacturing cement.
