The Kenyan government is planning to increase taxes on local and international air tickets in order to raise more money, which it will then allocate to two additional state organs in an attempt to increase their funding.
The National Assembly’s majority leader, Kimani Ichung’wah, who is the official leader of government business in the House, has submitted a bill which, if passed, will increase the levies on air tickets.
