A recent Afrobarometer survey conducted by IDS, involving a nationally representative sample of 2,400 adult Kenyans, reveals significant opposition to proposed tax increases on petroleum products and a housing levy aimed at funding affordable housing. The survey, carried out in April-May 2024, has a margin of error of +/- 2% at a 95% confidence level.
The findings indicate widespread resistance among Kenyans to these tax measures, reflecting concerns about their potential economic impact.
Additionally, the survey highlights a growing perception of corruption among tax officials. Nearly half of the respondents, 46%, believe that “most” or “all” tax officials are involved in corruption, marking a 12% increase over the past decade.
These results underscore the need for greater transparency and accountability in tax administration, as well as the importance of addressing public concerns about corruption.
