According to KRA officials, the PAYE rate is now a just bill. The old rate will be used until the bill is passed into law. Kenyans will continue to suffer as the Government collecting full tax without waivers during the naval virus situations.

However, VAT was effected after the speech from 16 Percent to 14 Percent as directed by the President. Now Kenyans are asking, why the VAT was reduced without Parliament passing the bill but PAYE awaits the bill to be passed?
