Manufacturers in the leather sector will have to wait longer for the Government to review taxes, which they claim are hurting their business.

Industry Principal Secretary Betty Maina yesterday said it would take at least three years for the Government to consider putting a tax relief on raw materials used in the production of leather products such as bags, shoes, belts and wallets.
