People's Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua has rejected key proposals contained in the 2026 Finance Bill, arguing that the government is prioritising higher taxation over fiscal discipline and efficient use of public resources.
Addressing the media alongside business representatives and civil society groups, Karua outlined PLP's alternative economic plan, centred on spending restraint, support for productive sectors, and relief measures for households and businesses.
"The fundamental challenge facing us today is not a lack of resources. We are collecting taxes that can give us the services we deserve. What we lack is fiscal discipline. It is leadership that can be trusted," she said.
