Higher excise hasn't brought in more revenue.
Rates kept rising, yet excise collected fell by Ksh 1 billion between 2018 and 2022.
Each price jump pushes more smokers toward cheaper, untaxed sticks.

A missing definition has become part of the Tobacco Bill debate.
In Meru, harm reduction experts called for “tobacco control” to be defined in the legislation, pointing to the definition contained in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.
