Kenya is exploring a more equitable tax system, moving towards taxing its wealthiest citizens to potentially generate significant revenue, as the current reliance on consumption taxes disproportionately affects the poor.

• Potential revenue from taxing the super-rich: Sh129.3 billion
• The current system heavily relies on VAT and other consumption taxes
• The proposal aims to address the issue of wealth concentration among the rich while the poor bear the brunt of existing taxes
