The Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops (KCCB) is now alleging that the continued imposition of new taxes on Kenyans is a secret way to reintroduce the rejected Finance Bill. While acknowledging that the government can only raise its revenue through taxes, the bishops regretted that the citizenry are being overtaxed. Addressing the press Thursday in Nairobi, the bishops raised concerns over what it has termed as “unreasonable” taxes being introduced “from day to day.”“It seems this is a hidden way of reintroducing the rejected Finance Bill, 2024. The bishops at the same time took issue with cases of abductions, disappearances, torture and killings being reported across the country. “Who is abducting these people and is the government unable to stop these abductions and killings,” the statement reads.
