Government will revise Finance Bill 2024 to introduce more taxes; Ruto’s close aide
Ruto's close aide, Faruk Kibet says the government will revise Finance Bill 2024 to introduce more taxes on alcohol
Ruto’s close aide, Faruk Kibet says the government will revise Finance Bill 2024 to introduce more taxes on alcohol.
Speaking on Sunday, May 19, Faruk Kibet slammed leaders who are opposing the tax measures being introduced by the Kenya Kwanza government.
Farouk hinted that the government is making amendments to the bill already tabled before the National Assembly.
He stated that Ruto would not burden Kenyans by allowing more taxes on bread.
However, the president’s close aide told Ruto about the introduction of more taxes on alcoholic products as a way of fighting illicit brews in the country.
“If the president wants to end the alcohol menace, he should add more taxes on alcohol,, not bread. We are supposed to tax alcohol more. But you will be surprised to see even Christians opposing taxes on alcohol. We need to introduce more taxes so as to generate revenue but not on bread,” Farouk said.
