Treasury CS John Mbadi pulls back on tax hikes after deadly Gen Z protests, slashing revenue targets by Sh314B in a rare Finance Bill climbdown. With Sh1 trillion in debt looming, Kenya pivots to asset sales — including a partial Safaricom stake divestment and the Kenya Pipeline Company — to fill a Sh4.29 trillion budget hole. Meanwhile, a new IMF deal is on the table, and MTN Uganda plots a fintech IPO.

📊 Top Highlights:
• Treasury softens tax plan amid youth revolt
• Public debt repayment balloons to historic levels
• Govt plans sale of its stake in Safaricom, not the company
• MTN decouples MoMo in IPO roadmap

📰 This isn’t just policy — it’s the future of Kenya’s economy.
