Kenya's Finance Bill 2025: Public Input Crucial After Past Disregard

Kenya's Finance Bill 2025: Public Participation Urged Amidst Concerns of Past Neglect Kenya is gearing up for public participation on the Finance Bill 2025, starting next week. This follows concerns raised by Kesses MP Julius Rutto, who highlighted the neglect of public input during the process for the 2024 bill. In a recent TV47 interview, Rutto emphasized the importance of a thorough review of the proposed clauses and encouraged Kenyans to submit their memoranda. "From next week, there will be public participation regarding the Finance Bill 2025. Kenyans should review the proposed bill clause by clause, participate, and submit their memoranda. Initially, Kenyans' feelings and emotions were stirred and incited, but this time, we should be more cautious." said Rutto. The MP's comments underscore the need for transparency and accountability in the legislative process. The outcome of this public participation phase will significantly impact the final version of the bill and its effect on the Kenyan economy.
