A revised version of the controversial eco-levy tax will soon be tabled in Kenya’s Parliament.

The cancellation of Kenya’s Finance Bill 2024 in June followed widespread anti-tax protests, which forced President William Ruto to reassess the budget and explore alternative revenue sources.

However, speaking to newsmen, Treasury Secretary John Mbadi confirmed that “about 49 measures” were being considered as part of a tax amendment bill, which aims to curb pollution and waste management at the office and household level.

The government also aims to collect more taxes by prolonging the tax amnesty period by six months.
