The government spokesperson, Isaac Mwaura, has reiterated Treasury Cabinet John Mbadi's assertion that the Finance Bill 2025 has yet to be filed anywhere.
Speaking during the weekly press briefing on Monday, April 14, Mwaura stated that a finance bill would be filed only if the revenue collected in the financial year 2024/25 is determined not enough to cover the projected budget for the 2025/26 financial year.
This, Mwaura noted, would come after April 30, when the budget process will be concluded, upon which the government will decide whether to table a finance bill. "As per the established timelines, revenue-raising measures, such as the finance bill, only follow the release of the draft budget after April 30th," he noted.
