Makueni– In a swift response to mounting public pressure, Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Jr. has withdrawn the County Finance Bill. The decision follows widespread public outcry and the threat of county-wide demonstrations over proposed tax increases.
The proposed bill had faced significant opposition from local businesses and residents, who argued that the new taxes would strain their finances and hinder economic growth. The public’s dissatisfaction culminated in plans for large-scale protests, prompting the governor to take immediate action to prevent potential unrest.
The decision has been met with relief and appreciation from many quarters, with community leaders and local business owners expressing their gratitude for the governor’s responsiveness and willingness to reconsider the controversial bill.
