The Treasury has cut Sh96 billion from its tax target for the year starting July amid efforts to avoid youth-led protests and an eye on voters in an election year.

It projects to raise Sh2.9 trillion from taxes in the year ending June 2027 from an initial target of Sh2.99 trillion, says the Budget Policy Statement, which guides the preparation of county and national budgets as well as the Finance Bill.
