@DonaldBKipkorir Sure Dr. It's unfortunate unscrupulous businessmen and women have flooded Kenyan market to siphon the few coins poor Kenyans have in their pockets
@HonMoses_Kuria You should be worried, if you can't protect your family from such divisions, then what else can you handle? Your family should Kam first... And by the way, why should they trust an outsider (gachagua) over you?
@moneyacademyKE I'm wondering how new cars need 530M maintenance cash when my "tuktuk" is 6 6 year old and the only maintenance needed is oil and change of tires after a while...
I have watched videos of President William Ruto telling a crowd that he will instruct the Majority Leader to bring an Act of Parliament to amend the law so that Kenyans earning below KSh 30,000 are exempted from paying PAYE. It sounds bold. It sounds compassionate. But the truth is more complicated than the applause in that rally.
Since independence, Kenya’s tax framework guided by the Public Finance Management Act , has largely protected the lowest earners. Those below KSh 24,000 were already effectively shielded from income tax. What has changed in recent years is not just PAYE it is the introduction of the Housing Levy and the steady increase of NSSF contributions, deductions that still hit low-income earners directly. So while the headline says “no PAYE below 30K,” the payslip still feels the pressure elsewhere.
We are told that PAYE for those earning between 30K–50K has been reduced by 5%. But at the same time, NSSF contributions go up. The result? The net pay either remains the same or drops slightly. That is not a breakthrough; it is a reshuffling of deductions packaged as relief. Kenyans must look beyond announcements and read their payslips carefully. Numbers do not clap at rallies they tell the real story.
