Happy Mashujaa day to our comrades whose sacrifice we can never forget, to the ones that forever remind us why we exist and do what we do.

To all our comrades that we have lost in this fight under this regime! You are the real shujaaz and your sacrifice can and will never be in vain!

Goodness gracious. Our wedding was in 2010. In Rhinebeck, New York. No taxpayer funds courtesy of President Obama or anyone. I’m sure 2014 in every season was beautiful in the Rose Garden!

The Republican-controlled board of elections shut down the 1 early voting site at North Carolina A&T University—a historically Black college—so students marched an hour to vote.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THESE STUDENTS FOR FIGHTING BACK. WE MUST ALL DO THE SAME.

This is becoming interesting.

Uhuru Kenyatta calls Kirinyaga Woman Representative Njeri Maina back to the stage to repeat an announcement she made on opposition unity.

Njeri says opposition leaders must meet and agree on who will face William Ruto in next year’s election.

She also cautions that any candidate who refuses to support the one chosen will be labelled a mole.

For those who understand Kikuyu, what is Uhuru saying after Njeri’s remarks?

HOW DIFFERENT AFRICAN COUNTRIES RELATE TO THEIR PRESIDENTS😂😂😂😂😂

[George Njoroge @georgenjoroge_]

Hon. Duale,

I build information systems for a living, so let me speak to you not as a politician but as the technical man in the room because the defence you have mounted is legally tidy and technically hollow.

You have answered the wrong question.

The country did not ask whether the two per cent fee is legal.

Everyone can see it is gazetted.

The country asked whether it should exist and who was positioned to collect it before the ink dried.

“Parliament approved it” is not a rebuttal to that, it is a confession that the charge was written into law rather than won in a tender.

Let me put it in terms my clients understand.

When an organisation buys an ERP, it pays once to build it and a maintenance fee to keep it running.

It does not then pay a toll every time a clerk writes a record into a database it already owns.

You have built the health rail with public money and then legislated a turnstile on it and pegged the turnstile to two per cent of the value passing through.

That is not “a capped fee for the use of a system,” as you put it.

The KES 5,000 cap limits a single claim; it does nothing to the aggregate.

As enrolment grows and claim volumes rise, that revenue line grows with them, automatically, forever.

You have not priced a service.

You have indexed a private income to the size of the national health budget.

Call that what it is.

You defend the arrangement by noting the law “permits sub-contracting.”

When a man reaches for the sub-contract to justify the deal, he is protecting whoever sits beneath the consortium and earns the percentage.

You told us where to look.

Here is the technical truth beneath the legal language: when you write the revenue model a fixed percentage, a named “Data Exchange Component,” a specific architecture into a regulation, you have not run a procurement.

Any of us who has sat on the other side of a Microsoft or Oracle negotiation knows exactly what a vendor lock written into law looks like and this is it, only worse, because the customer here cannot walk away.

Every Kenyan is the captive user.

I will grant you the one thing you are right about.

UHC cannot run on paper, and digitisation is not the enemy I would be the last man to argue it.

But that is not the fight, and you know it.

The fight is whether a public health system, once built with public money, should carry a private, volume-linked toll written into the law itself, and whether the hand collecting it earned that place on merit or was simply named in advance.

You closed by saying every shilling under Taifa Care belongs to the Kenyan patient.

You wrote that one paragraph after explaining the two per cent that does not.

Yours, in candour,

Njoroge from Kingeero.

KRA wants a share of dowry money.

There is a guy called Kamau.

When it was time to buy his wife, he mobilized his most monied buddies.

He put them in a WhatsApp group. The fundraising began.

Those boys were loaded. They were only 35.
By by the time they were done, they had contributed 4.5 million shillings.

Others who were not in the group wired money directly to Kamau's bank account.

The ruracio D-Day arrived.

And as always, the one and only Kikuyu ruracio anthem was tuned.

🎶 Wero... Werokamu guku kwa wa Kanini... Werokamu... 🎶

Before they could finish the song, more than 2,000 people had pulled up.

Wakaanza kutoa funjo. Then one man stood on a stool and announced they could not sit until they had given Kamau top up money to add to the dowry.

The donation book was hurriedly brought. People lined up. Cash started flowing.

By the end of the day, another 2.8 million shillings had been raised.

Kamau took the money and banked it.

Total dowry contribution sitting at his bank account: 8m shillings.

The ceremony became the talk of Gatundu South.

Kamau paid his dowry. Collected his wife. And went home peacefully.

• Lesson 1. Monied friends are good for paying dowry.

I have no clue how. But sometime later, Kamau was marked for a KRA tax audit.

KRA went straight for his bank statements. They found deposits of 8 million shillings.

Immediately, they baptized the entire amount as undeclared taxable income.

Then demanded: 30% income tax. Penalties plus interest.

Total bill: 2.5 million shillings plus.

When Kamau saw the tax bill, he went mad.
He could try to talk but words would not come out. He nearly swallowed his tongue.

When he came back to real life. He shipped a protest letter to KRA.

He explained the money was dowry contribution from his family, friends and well wishers.

- He produced WhatsApp group fundraising screenshots.
- He produced RTGS confirmations.
- He produced the donation book.
- He even produced videos of the ceremony.

Including footage of the Werokamu song.

KRA could not hear any of it. They only wanted 2.5 million.

When Kamau realized KRA was not playing, he ran to court.

He told the Tribunal:

- My lord, look. I have shown KRA where the money came from.
- I have shown KRA who contributed it.
- I have shown KRA the ceremony.
- What more do they want from me?

KRA responded.
And what they said nearly made the judges fall off their chairs.

They argued the evidence was not convincing.

Why?

• Because the 2,000 plus donors had not sworn affidavits confirming that the money they gave was a donation and not payment for goods or services.

The Tribunal looked at the matter in amusement.

Then ruled.

- Kamau had discharged his burden of proof in full.
- KRA had acted unreasonably by ignoring and disregarding the substantial evidence he provided.
- And most importantly: Income tax is a tax on income. It is not a tax on every deposit appearing in a bank account.

The Tribunal found that KRA was wrong to treat all bank deposits as taxable income without first removing proven non income items such as dowry contributions.

The tax demand was killed.

Kamau won.

KRA retreated to Times Tower. And rested.

Case closed.

• Lesson 2.

- Document everything.

- KRA will push. Push hard.
