Kenya Reintroduces Tax Reforms With the Appointment of New Deputy President | Firstpost Africa
Kenyan President William Ruto has appointed Interior Minister Kithur Kindiki as his new deputy. After an initial blocking, a Kenyan High Court approved the appointment of the new deputy president to replace Rigathi Gachagua, who was ousted in a historic impeachment last month. With his appointment, the Kenyan government also said it was re-introducing some of the tax hikes that sparked deadly protests earlier this year. As per reports, he is now re-introducing proposals from the finance bill including VAT hikes and new taxes on the digital sector. However, amid a growing cost-of-living crisis, people have widely opposed these measures. Many in Kenya also view the appointment of a new deputy as a way for the government to distract the public from the wider issues facing the country.
