After the Kenyan youth protested against the government's tax hike bill, it is now said that the government is planning to bring back the bill.

This was announced by the new Finance Minister of Kenya, John Mbadi, in an interview on national television.

This project, which had caused the youth to sleep on the streets, is said to be expected to collect at least 150 billion shillings from taxes and duties.

The Kenyan government explains that it needs this money to increase certain salaries, such as those of teachers, and to urgently pay the country's international debts.

However, until now, this revised bill has been submitted to the National Assembly for consideration.

Those who oppose the increase in taxes in Kenya, immediately began to complain about what Minister Mbadi announced, saying that the Government is going to make a mistake again.

On the part of the people, they say that the day the project is approved, they will return to the streets and protest.
