Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has called for the amendment of controversial sections of the Finance Bill, 2023, saying the cost of living is already too high.

"The Bill proposes a raft of new taxes which will make life more difficult for Kenyans. I appeal to MPs to review it. They have a chance to be the heroes of today by casting a selfless vote for Kenyans who are suffering," Barasa said.
