Laikipia Senator Alleges Plan to Tax Church Businesses

Laikipia Senator John Kinyua alleged that a motion is being prepared in Parliament to tax commercial activities operated by churches, including schools and hotels. Kinyua expressed opposition to this motion, stating that churches play a crucial role in education and social services, citing the Anglican Church of Kenya's sponsorship of over 735 schools. He also emphasized the need for public participation before any legislative changes are implemented.
