Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa clarified his decision to vote ‘yes’ on the controversial Finance Bill 2024 during an address to constituents at Chebukwabi market on Saturday.

Speaking at the market, he emphasized the bill’s crucial role in enabling the government to mobilize resources for development and effectively implement its plans. Barasa further explained that the bill establishes the legal framework for annual tax collection practices.

“Every year we normally have a finance bill that lays laws to be followed while collecting taxes,” the MP stated.

Barasa pointed out that all the issues that seemed to press the common mwananchi were removed from the bill asking the residents to support the implementation of the bill.

The MP cited the removal of taxes on local eggs, bread, diapers, and sanitary towels as key revisions made by the select committee in Parliament.
“Stop buying into the cheap propaganda spread by leaders at funerals about the Finance Bill 2024,” he said.

MP Didmus Barasa dismissed claims that the Finance Bill 2024 seeks to impose heavy taxes on small business operators, clarifying instead that the bill mandates big companies to adopt eTIMS (Electronic Tax Invoice Monitoring System).

– Sh18 million for constructing a storey building at Daraja Mungu Primary School
– Sh50 million for electrification projects
– Sh12 million for tile installation at Chebukwabi School

Furthermore, he announced the elevation of Matili Technical Training Institute to national status, marking a significant development for the institution.
