Money lenders can now call KRA bro.
Because starting 1st July 2026,
Finance Act 2026 has ended one of the biggest tax fights between KRA and money lenders.
For years, banks, microfinances and digital lenders have fought KRA in the Tax Appeals Tribunal and superior courts over one simple question.
A loan has two parts.
• The principal, and
• The interest.
Take for example a lender who gives out a loan of Ksh 1 million. At an interest of Ksh 100,000.
Then the borrower disappears. And all recovery efforts fail.
The lender finally gives up and writes off the loan.
The question is,
• What amount should the lender deduct for tax purposes?
- Is it the principal of 1 million? Or
- The interest of KSh 100,000?
- Or both?
KRA's position has traditionally been,
- Only the interest qualifies as a bad debt deduction. The principal does not.
Money lenders argued the opposite.
- The principal is our stock. That's what we trade with. If the principal is lost, that is a genuine business loss. It is tax deductible.
This disagreement has generated some of the fiercest tax battles between KRA and lenders.
One of the most notable being Branch International Ltd v KRA, involving over Ksh 800 million in loan write offs.
Finance Act 2026 has now settled the war.
• It expressly provides that, for banks, licensed financial institutions, microfinance institutions and money lenders, a bad debt includes:
- The principal.
- The interest.
- And any other amount relating to the debt.
KRA and lenders can finally call each other buddies.
Meanwhile, the professional loan defaulters have entered the chat. They are asking,
So if Tala or Branch writes off my loan as a bad debt, does that mean KRA has carried the burden for me? Should I still repay?

I’m at the airport in London and they’re asking everyone if they’ve been to an African country in the last 21 days and then they further ask, which ones and especially in East and Central Africa. Kenyans if you’re travelling anywhere soon especially from home…itakuwa ngori

Children need sleep. It is common sense.
Waking up your children at 4 am to go to school is ignorance.
Pre-teens (9 to 12 years old) should be asleep by 9 pm and wake up at 6 am.
Early schoolers (5 to 8 years old) should be asleep by 8 pm and wake up at 6 am.
Preschoolers (3 to 5 years old) should be asleep by 8 pm and wake up at 7 am.
Toddlers should sleep. They should not go to any school or day care.
Children must all take a 30-minute to 1-hour afternoon nap.
Sleep is necessary for brain development, hormonal health and mental hygiene.
