Kenyans will have to wait for revenue collection to improve and the reduction in the public debt burden before they can enjoy lower tax rates proposed by the Cabinet Secretary for National Treasury John Mbadi.

Mr Mbadi revealed that the government plans to reduce the value added tax (VAT) on goods and services to 14 percent from 16 percent, a major relief for businesses and households hit by the high cost of living.
