A section of Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) workers has lauded the government's move to exempt pension and gratuity from taxes as outlined in the budget for Financial Year 2025/2026.
To ensure senior citizens retire with dignity and not distress, the Head of State during the 60th Labour Day celebration announced that pensions and gratuity from the public and private sectors will be exempted from tax.
Former Dock Workers Union Leader Paul Abisa described the government's move to exempt pensions and gratuity from taxation as a major shift aimed at honoring the contribution of Kenyan citizens and workers.
He applauded the President for the bold move: "We sincerely congratulate President Ruto and his entire Kenya Kwanza administration for taking such a move," Abisa said at a press briefing at the Uhuru Garden, Mombasa.
