MPs sharply divided over key proposals in the Finance Bill

Members of parliament clashed on the floor of the national assembly today over tax proposals contained in the Finance Bill 2026, as those in the opposition rejected the proposals. Finance Committee Chairman Kimani Kuria tabled the committee's report amid chaos in the house, which led to an abrupt close of the proceedings. As Emmanuel Too now reports, the committee proposed an amendment to allow the Kenya Revenue Authority to take up to 2% of the affordable housing levy contributions as enforcement fees to boost their operations.
