The Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Kimani Ichung'wah, has challenged the Kenya Private Sector Alliance (KEPSA) to collaborate on developing a multi-year revenue and tax framework to enhance fiscal predictability and national competitiveness.

Speaking at the 8th Speakers' Roundtable with KEPSA, Hon. Ichung'wah stressed that consistent, predictable tax policy is essential for investor confidence.

Addressing the captains of industry under KEPSA the Majority Leader emphasized the need to move beyond annual tax adjustments to a stable, long-term framework.

"We have engaged over the years in matters taxation in the country; we must have predictability," Hon. Ichung'wah stated. "As we begin the 2026/27 Finance Bill process, I want to challenge KEPSA again to partner with Parliament and the National Treasury to develop a multi-year revenue and tax framework which will give investors confidence, reduce uncertainty and enhance our competitiveness as a country."

He noted that this action is crucial as the country enters the 2026/2027 budget-making cycle.

Hon. Ichung'wah further pressed KEPSA to prioritize the unlocking of domestic investment, asserting that local enterprise including SMEs and county-based enterprisesβ€”must drive the next phase of national growth, despite the vitality of foreign capital.

He urged the Alliance to collaborate with the Budget and Finance Committees to identify and dismantle laws and regulatory barriers that impede access to credit, investment capital, innovation financing.

"Let us build a legislative environment that rewards enterprise, protects innovation, and enables Kenyan investors to power the Kenyan growth aspirations," he affirmed, aligning the call with the administration's stated goal of propelling economic growth.

The Majority Leader referenced the event's theme, "From Policy to Practice," challenging attendees to transition "beyond dialogue into deliberate, measurable action."
