Kenya is facing new, stringent conditions from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a fresh round of funding. These conditions are anticipated to be similar to those of a previous program that ended in March, which included higher taxes and the removal of subsidies.

• Previous IMF program ended in March.
• The Treasury CS, John Mbadi, is prominently involved as Kenya prepares for these new conditions.
• Past conditions involved increased tax collections and the withdrawal of subsidies, aimed at boosting government revenue.
