@georgediano Bro, your social media corner is to speak on peoples relationships, whos fvcking who etc. Muchene za ngono, in other words. Bruv, you'd be in the same lounge w/ the baddies taking notes on whos dancing siaka to who for your blog while think tanks are meeting. Pipe down bruv.
HR: We lost another senior employee today.
CEO: What happened?
HR: He resigned after receiving an external offer.
CEO: That makes no sense. We could have matched it.
HR: That is the issue. We were willing to pay a stranger 70% more for the same role, but would not give our existing employee even a 20% raise.
CEO: External hiring is different. That is market pricing.
HR: He noticed that too.
CEO: We appreciated his loyalty. He had been here for years.
HR: Yes. And during those years, he consistently exceeded expectations while being told to “wait for the next review cycle.”
CEO: But budgets are complicated for internal employees.
HR: Apparently not for external candidates. The new hire budget was approved in three days. His raise request sat for eight months.
CEO: We had to stay competitive in the hiring market.
HR: He was part of that same market. The only difference is that another company valued him before we did.
CEO: So he left over salary?
HR: Not just salary. He left because he realized loyalty was being rewarded less than leaving.
CEO: That is unfortunate.
HR: Yes. Companies will sometimes trust a candidate after a 45-minute interview more than an employee who already proved themselves for five years.
CEO: So what are you saying?
HR: If companies only recognize employee value after a resignation letter appears, then eventually employees will stop waiting to be appreciated internally.
Sometimes the fastest way for an employee to get market value is to stop being your employee.
Finance Bill 2026 wants to make you helpless before KRA.
Right now, the law says:
- If you lose a tax case at the Tax Tribunal and appeal to the High Court,
• KRA cannot freeze your bank accounts
• Until your appeal is heard and finalized.
That protection is called Section 42(14)(e) of TPA.
The Bill wants to DELETE it. Completely.
Meaning:
Even if you have appealed your case to the high court, KRA can still:
- Freeze your bank accounts
- Grab money in your bank accounts
- Collect money from your tenants and customers
All while the tax case is live in court.
Implications:
• Pay now, argue later becomes the law
• Businesses shall lose all cash during active disputes
• You may win in court but find your business already dead
This is one of the most dangerous sentences in the Finance Bill 2026.
A bill in Parliament by Didmus Barasa seeks to give government powers to regulate matatu/PSV fares, with the CS empowered to set or review prices (see pages 3-5).
On paper, this may look like protection for passengers from arbitrary fare hikes.
But transport is a market driven by fuel prices, spare parts, maintenance costs, taxes, and demand/supply.
If costs go up but government forces fares to stay low, operators will simply reduce trips or withdraw vehicles because business becomes unsustainable.
That means fewer matatus on the road, longer queues, and transport chaos.
Price controls can protect consumers in the short term, yes. But if done badly, they distort the market and create bigger problems than the ones they were meant to solve.
