When AI replaces a Kenyan employee, KRA loses the PAYE it was collecting from that worker.
I came across an interesting argument from Scott Bellow this morning.
He says that the time is ripe for KRA to start taxing AI agents and robots.
He argues that,
AI agents like Grok, ChatGPT and Claude can now do real jobs.
They complete actual tasks, replace human employees and sometimes do the work just as well, or even better.
At the end of the month, someone pays for their services through subscription fees.
Now, human employees pay PAYE tax (pay as you earn) to KRA.
But when a company fires an employee and replaces them with an AI agent, KRA loses the PAYE it was collecting from that employee.
Scott's argument is that the AI agent replacing that worker should also be taxed as a worker under PAYE.
Example
Say the AI agent costs Sh50,000 a month.
KRA would tax that amount using the PAYE bands.
The agent pays Sh9,784 in tax and takes home Sh40,216.
KRA eats Sh9,784.
Meanwhile, the hustlers have also joined the chat. They want to know whether these AI agents will also be forced to pay the Housing Levy so the government can continue building them affordable mansions.
Do you think Kenya should collect PAYE from AI agents?
If a man is destined for you, God will soften his heart in your favor. You will not have to plead, and you will not have to sacrifice yourself to be seen as worthy. Love ordained by God will meet you where you stand.
Please use roll-on, brush your teeth, wear clean clothes, drink water, eat something, charge your phone, mind your tone, avoid unnecessary drama and mind your business.

What are YOU focusing on this week?
I don't care about what y’all have normalized. I still want to get married, be a wife, have my beautiful wedding, and be ridiculously in love with ONE person for the rest of my life.
Is that too much to dream about?
I don’t want anything toxic ever again. I want a regulated nervous system & my bubbly personality to stay at an all time high. I need peace & love that’s loud & gentle!
I'm in love again, but this time it's different. He's not loud on social media. He's calm, mature, private. He doesn't need to prove anything to the world. He just shows up for me when I need him. No games, no begging, no drama. This kind of love feels different, soft & peaceful❤️
manifesting a lover era in 2027: flowers, planned dates, forehead kisses, “text me when u get home,” and absolutely ZERO situationships. we’ve suffered enough 😭🫶.
To all my girls chasing a new chapter, be gentle with yourself. what's meant for you will always find you, so trust the process and give yourself grace. you got this! 💕
Girlies , if your face card is 10/10 and you’re not camera shy , please put yourself out there!

Do something! There’s pretty privilege on the internet.
That beauty , face card , unique features and clear skin must not go to waste.
I can’t wait for the stage where weekends are for me and my partner. Long drives, little braais, picnics, dinner dates, movies and simply enjoying each other. I’m really looking forward to it. ❤️
