- The 2024 Finance Bill was withdrawn after the Gen-Z-led protests in June 2024 — public participation is being watched closely this cycle. — Mzalendo Trust archive
The story so far
The Finance Bill 2026 is the National Treasury's instrument for raising the revenue that funds next year's Budget. It changes how Kenyans are taxed — on income, fuel, mobile money, and a basket of goods — and so it touches every citizen, not just those who file returns.
The Bill is now in the public-participation window before the Departmental Committee on Finance & National Planning. Past Bills have been amended substantially in committee after written submissions and hearings. The 2024 Bill was withdrawn after the Gen-Z-led protests in June; the political and procedural lessons from that withdrawal are shaping how this Bill is being handled.
What Parliament does next will be visible on this page — debates, divisions, amendments, and the final form of the Bill that goes for Presidential assent. Submit your view to the Committee while public participation remains open.
