    The Finance Committee continued with its sittings to collect views from members of the public on the 2026 Finance Bill. During a session in Mombasa, Kenyans raised concerns over the proposed tax increases, saying citizens are already reeling under heavy taxation and the high cost of living. The committee is on a nationwide public participation exercise aimed at gathering views before the bill is debated in Parliament. As Francis Mtalaki reports, many participants urged lawmakers to reconsider the proposed measures, warning they could further strain households already facing economic pressure.
