Friday, June 14, 2024 - Controversial lawyer and barrister, Miguna Miguna, has opposed the Finance Bill 2024, terming it as a retrogressive and punitive bill aimed at killing the country’s economy.
In a social media post on Friday, Miguna criticized the Bill's plan to impose taxes on essential items like bread, Boda Boda, Mpesa, and bank transactions, calling it nonsensical and oppressive.
The ‘General’ said taxing the
sick, unemployed, peasants, homeless, and struggling Kenyans to death is
criminal.
He suggested the bill has been
proposed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Kenyans are being used as
guinea pigs.
“Kenyans,
#RejectFinaceBill2024. It’s nonsensical, excessive, oppressive, and
anti-people. Taxing the sick, unemployed, peasants, homeless and struggling Kenyans
to death is criminal. Down with the IMF and World Bank anti-African experiments,”
Miguna wrote on his X platform.
Miguna further warned Ruto that
overtaxing Kenyans may lead to a full-blown revolution that will oust him from
power.
“One doesn’t have to be an economist to appreciate the fact that a country can’t expand the tax base by taxing everyone to death.
"The tax base is expanded by creating jobs, having thriving businesses and building industries.
"If Kenya’s high unemployment rate
is not reduced through job creation, President@WilliamsRuto’s unsustainable
taxes will lead to a full-blown revolution!,” Miguna stated.
