Kenya to bring back some scrapped tax plans, risking more unrest

Kenya's Finance Minister, John Mbadi, has announced plans to reintroduce some tax measures that were scrapped after June protests.

The government needs the funds for essential expenses, like teachers' salaries.

While some unpopular taxes, such as those on sanitary pads, will not return, an eco-levy on non-essential goods is being considered.

The move risks sparking new protests, as citizens already struggle with high living costs.

The government aims to raise 150 billion shillings and will present the plan to parliament by September 30.
