Ruto proposes tax relief for Kenyans earning Sh32,000 and below

President William Ruto’s proposal to exempt Kenyans earning Sh32,000 and below from taxation is aimed at increasing disposable income for low-income households. The government also plans to review other income tax bands. The National Treasury has indicated that it intends to propose a zero tax rate for these income categories, moving away from the current tax exemption approach.
