Residents of Nairobi are in an uproar after the county government proposed a KSh 25 tax on each chicken brought into the city. The move, aimed at raising KSh 32.3 billion in the 2019/2020 financial year, has sparked mixed reactions from residents.
According to a report by TUKO.co.ke, City Hall is working on a bill to ensure the tax is implemented. The proposal has left many wondering how the tax will be enforced and what the impact will be on the city's economy.
Some residents have taken to social media to express their opinions on the matter, with some calling for more information from Governor Mike Sonko on how the tax will be implemented. Others have questioned the logic behind the tax, citing the potential impact on small businesses and the city's economy.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the proposed tax has the potential to significantly impact the city's economy and the lives of its residents.
