The government may introduce more taxes, through amendment bills, to bridge the budget deficit, Treasury Principal Secretary Chris Kiptoo has said.

Kiptoo, who spoke on Tuesday morning during an interview on NTV, called on Kenyans to prepare for "slight" tax changes, should the government decide to go that direction.

I think it should be legitimate.
