The Kenyan government, through National Treasury Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi, has announced it will not introduce new taxes, maintaining current rates due to the unchanged economic situation for Kenyans.

• The strategy will instead focus on expanding the tax base and improving revenue collection efficiency by reforming the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
• CS John Mbadi emphasized the need for the KRA to adapt to the increasing digitization of the economy to better track taxpayers.
• This announcement follows public resistance to higher taxes under President William Ruto's administration and signals a move towards compliance-driven revenue mobilisation.
