Finance Bill 2026 Faces Fresh Opposition as Martha Karua Rejects Proposals

People's Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua has rejected the proposed 2026 Finance Bill and unveiled an alternative "Rescue Budget" focused on fiscal discipline, capping expenditure, and offering tax relief to citizens and businesses. She strongly criticized the Kenya Kwanza administration for prioritizing higher taxation over efficient resource management, describing the new finance bill as a stealthy reintroduction of the heavily resisted 2024 tax measures.
