President Uhuru Kenyatta has assented to the Tea Bill of 2018 and the Tax Laws (Amendment) Bill 2020 at State House, Nairobi. 

The former is expected to bring relief to tea farmers in the country by ensuring they receive 50 per cent of their tea proceeds within 30 days of auction, while the latter alters measures enacted in April to cushion Kenyans against the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on the economy.
