#Statement Annette Nerima from @thekhrc emphasised that the #FinanceBill2024 proposes harsh, unjust taxes, worsening the burden on Kenyans. It targets every aspect of life-food, travel, communication & banking without improving services. This is a non-citizen-focused budget!

🤑 Your Mhesh gets a pay hike ! As Kenyans suffer from the high cost of living, the government hikes salaries. Kenya is at a crossroads, yet our leaders prioritize their pockets over essential services. Our issue isn't revenue—it's reckless expenditure. #OccupyCBDTuesday
