Last year, a wave of nationwide protests forced Ruto to withdraw his Finance Bill, which contained a series of tax rises.

Last June it was forced to withdraw a controversial finance bill that would have included more tax increases.

Downing Street said the tweaks, which will be made through amendments to the Finance Bill, did not change the government's overall approach "to replacing the outdated non-dom tax regime".

Their anger forced the government to retract a controversial finance bill that had included more tax increases - and it woke up the churches, whose clergy began to openly criticise Ruto and his policies.

The coalition government had agreed not to call an election until the Finance Bill had passed, enacting tax cuts which capitalised on surplus corporation tax incomes from global tech and pharma groups.
