Business owners argue that some of the proposed provisions could hurt their operations and reduce revenues.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking in Nakuru, BAHLITA Secretary General Boniface Gachoka faulted the Senate for what he termed limited public participation, saying hearings were largely confined to Nairobi instead of being conducted across counties. He said the association\u2019s 54,000 members were not adequately consulted on a bill that directly affects their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Traders have particularly opposed a proposal to ban flavours in nicotine products, arguing that such a move would fuel illicit trade as consumers seek alternatives in the black market. They contend that a ban would disadvantage legitimate businesses and reduce tax collections.<\/p>\n<p>BAHLITA has called on senators to halt proceedings and allow further consultations, warning that failure to do so could push the association to seek legal redress. The traders say they support regulation but want a more consultative process to address concerns around illicit nicotine and tobacco products.<\/p>\n<p>The debate comes as the Kenya Revenue Authority has acknowledged that more than half of excisable goods in the market \u2014 including alcohol and cigarettes \u2014 are illicit and do not meet tax and standards requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The Tobacco Control (Amendment) Bill, 2024, sponsored by nominated Senator Catherine Mumma, seeks to tighten regulation of the production, sale and advertisement of nicotine products, including vapes and nicotine pouches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The bill, currently at the committee stage in the Senate, has drawn opposition from traders in Mombasa and Eldoret over the past week.
