Kenya's finance chief defends tax law changes, countering claims that they hurt workers' pay.

Kenya's Treasury Cabinet Secretary, John Mbadi, defended recent tax law changes that critics say are hurting workers' pay. Mbadi argues the new system, which includes deductions for the Social Health Insurance Fund and Housing Levy, actually reduces the overall tax burden. He claims the changes have been misrepresented and urges Kenyans to look at the numbers objectively. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua disagreed, criticizing the government for over-taxing workers.
