Kenya’s President, William Ruto, has announced new tax‑relief measures aimed at easing the cost of living for low‑ and middle‑income earners. Under the new proposals, workers earning up to $231 a month will be exempt from income tax, while those earning up to $387 will see their tax rate reduced to 25%. President Ruto says the changes will result in around one and a half million Kenyans paying no income tax. Channel Africa’s Economics Reporter, Innocent Semosa, has more.
