Leader of Majority Amos Kimunya was yesterday forced to withdraw the Kenya Revenue Authority (Amendment) Bill, 2022 following a disagreement on a proposal by Garissa Township MP Aden Duale.

The Bill was before the Committee of the Whole House and was among those proposing to rename Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) to Kenya Revenue Service, but a debate between the two forced Kimunya to withdraw it. Duale wanted to amend Clause 5 of the Bill to cushion current commissioners and board members from losing their jobs.
