President Uhuru Kenyatta has assented to the Bill introducing new taxes on airtime and betting, allowing the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to start collecting the duties from yesterday.

Analysts had expected the President to object to the new taxes or revised duty that were not in the government-backed Finance Bill, 2021 tabled in Parliament on April 30.
