Maina and King'ang'i engaged with their listeners about the Finance Bill being open for public participation.
Maina said, ''Last month, Kenya published the Finance Bill, 2024 which proposes a wide array of tax and administrative measures affecting different tax laws.''
The proposals are open for public participation to incorporate public views before the Bill is assented into an Act of Parliament by 1 July 2024.
''All those conversations we’ve had about the new proposed finance bill, 2024 what are your expectations? Do you think those views to be heard?'' Maina asked.
Listeners shared their views below;
thotho simeon We are wasting our time discussing the finance bill 2024 simple because parliamentarians have been captured and no longer listen to kenyans who elected them, instead they take orders from the executive overthrowing their mandate of representation, oversight and making law's.
faith methu Public participation is a formality and a platform for money expenditure on their sitting allowances , I even stopped attending those on ward level because I realized we were giving same views and concerns every year
Sibuor Nothing will change,they always have their way. Compare speeches before the election on the alter Using the Scriptures vs his actions now.
Michael Mich Being optimistic with our policymakers to listen to our grievances is like drilling oil wells, only to get water. Promises of the bottom-up policy are not implemented but rather the opposite. So, as long they aren't affected or feel the impact. They can cushion themselves.
