The Finance Bill 2025 is set to proceed to President William Ruto for assent after the National Assembly passed it on Thursday.

In a decision taken on the floor of the House, lawmakers agreed to pass the Bill after considering key reports from the Finance and Planning Committee, led by Molo MP Kuria Kimani.

The MPs unanimously agreed to approve the Bill, which the government intends to use to finance its budget for the session.

However, the House dropped the clause that sought to grant the Kenya Revenue Authority access to personal and financial data, which had been the subject of contentious debate.
