The proposals contained in the Finance Bill 2024 have sparked outrage among Kenyans, who note that the National Treasury's bid to raise more taxes would further push many essential items out of reach for most households.

Kenyans also say that they are still reeling from the measures that the government has been implementing since the Finance Act, 2024 came into force.
