Members of civil society on Thursday took to the streets to demonstrate outside the Parliament Building over the Finance Bill, 2024.
They were singing and holding placards with some written "Poverty is manmade".
At some point, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino addressed the demonstrators.
Among others, the Bill proposes a 25 per cent excise duty on edible oil, 10-20 per cent M-Pesa and mobile transfer charges.
According to the recently released Infotrak data, 63 per cent of Kenyans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction with 45 per cent blaming the track on the cost of living and 27 per cent due to the taxes imposed on people.
