By ELVIS ONDIEKIMore by this AuthorPresident Uhuru Kenyatta has promised Kenyans that funds spent in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic will be audited publicly once the disease is over. Speaking before Mr Kenyatta, the secretary-general of the Central Organisation of Trade Unions (Cotu), Mr Francis Atwoli, asked Mr Kenyatta to consider having more employees enjoy the tax relief, arguing that it can cover all those earning Sh100,000 and below. In response, Mr Kenyatta promised to look into the matter but was quick to add that taxes are important for the progress of the country. The president also promised to announce more plans towards bringing the economy back on its feet after the coronavirus fight is over.
