He assured that the process proceeded as planned and the bill would pass, enabling Kenyans to continue their lives while increasing revenue collection.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cPeople talk about Kenyans being overtaxed, yes nobody likes being taxed, even me I don\u2019t like being taxed, but we have to pay our taxes and some countries even pay more taxes than us,\u201d<\/em> Mutua added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tourism Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua has blamed protesters for the injuries sustained by an anti-riot police officer during Tuesday\u2019s \u2018Occupy Parliament\u2019 protest against the Finance Bill 2024.
