Why you should plug into Finance Bill 2026 debates

As Parliament prepares to debate the Finance Bill 2026, a fiscal policy dialogue hosted by KCA University's Centre of Excellence in Tax Education (CETE) brought together economists, policymakers, and experts to examine the bill's implications. Daniel Mainda, CEO of the Nairobi International Financial Centre (NIFC), emphasized that Kenya is competing with Dubai, Singapore, and Mauritius for capital, and that the Finance Bill should be read as a blueprint for the economy Kenya is trying to build, particularly in digital finance and startups.
