3. All locally manufactured items, including diapers and sanitary pads, will not be subject to the Eco Levy.

4. Turnover Tax: VAT threshold to be increased from KSh 5m to KSh 8m. SMEs that have a turnover of less than KSh 8m will not be required to register for VAT.

6. Local farmers: Excise duty will only be levied on imported table eggs, imported onions, and imported potatoes.

7. Alcohol: They're now changing it from a volume-based taxation to alcohol content-based taxation. Alcohol manufacturers producing alcohol with very high alcohol content will be required to pay higher duty based on alcohol content.

8. Pension: They're now increasing the amount allowable for tax exemption for pension contributions, from KSh 20,000 to KSh 30,000 per month.

9. JSS Teachers: All the 46,000 JSS teachers will be hired on permanent and pensionable terms, in addition to recruiting another 20,000.
