"We might not have another tax amnesty" - KRA Chief Manager for Policy, Josephine Mugure, says.
She argues that recurrent amnesties are creating a perverse outcome such that compliant taxpayers feel disenfranchised as non-compliant ones are almost assured there will always be yet another amnesty to fall back on.
Musings:
· In my view, there's a valid point being made here
· However, in the absence of amnesties, tax structures typically have an in-built mechanism for granting waivers, on a case by case basis, based on an agreed upon framework
· Finance Bill 2027 should consider reviving Sec37 of the Tax Procedures Act as was designed in the pre-Finance Act 2023 repeal
· What will be needed are guard rails to ensure the risk of abuse, as was the case & really what necessitated the Finance Act 2023 repeal, is mitigated

Safaricom app is still on this nonsense when you're not in Kenya.
Effectively paralyses one from transacting their money as soon as you leave the border.
Which geniuses thought this is a good idea in 2026 ?
Safaricom's messy MyOneApp rollout:
"The primary embarrassment for a telecommunications giant is failing to account for how people actually use mobile phones...The most severe impact has been felt by the Kenyan diaspora."

@SafaricomPLCim I’m very sorry to say this, but your new M-pesa app is extremely horrible…. simple put.
Please return the old format, the new version is not legible or user friendly at all.
It’s like a mess of rainbow colors and too much going on, on one app.
Text front, too small… it’s just horrible.
