The Kenyan government, represented by Budget Cabinet Secretary Mbadi, has unveiled a Sh30 billion revenue plan for the 2025 budget without introducing new taxes, following public protests against the prior tax proposals.

• The 2025 Finance Bill aims to generate revenue through reforms and improved compliance rather than tax increases.
• Mbadi emphasized the need for fairness in the tax system, noting a significant rise in tax expenditures from Sh393.1 billion in 2022 to Sh510.6 billion in 2023.
• Customs measures include reduced duty rates on tea packaging materials and wheat, alongside tax incentives designed to support local industries and housing initiatives.
