Proposed levies on cooking oil, motor vehicles and financial services are also axed.

Kenya’s government has scrapped some proposed taxes in this year's controversial finance bill after a public outcry.

The parliamentary finance committee has axed what would have been a 16% levy on bread as well as higher taxes on cooking oil and mobile money services. His finance team has been collecting public views on the bill and he said the decision to drop some of the proposals had been made to protect Kenyans from the increasing cost of living.

Mr Kimani also announced a reversal on a proposed eco tax that targeted products seen as having a negative impact on the environment, such as packaging, plastics and tyres.
