The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) is intensifying efforts to influence reforms in the Finance Bill 2025, aiming to strengthen industrial resilience, improve tax efficiency, and boost private sector participation in national development.
During a meeting with key National Assembly Committees, KEPSA presented proposals to make Kenya’s fiscal policy more competitive, investment-friendly, and inclusive.
KEPSA Chairperson Jaswinder Bedi stressed the importance of moving from reactive to proactive fiscal policymaking, highlighting the challenges facing Kenya’s shrinking manufacturing sector and complex tax systems.
Finance Committee Chair Francis Kuria Kimani called for a predictable tax system, proposing a Medium-Term Revenue Strategy to stabilize taxes for 3–5 years, and enhancing digital platforms like iTax for better tax efficiency.
KEPSA CEO Carole Kariuki emphasized the need for continuous dialogue between the private sector and the government, focusing on creating infrastructure that supports business growth.
