kuna vitu basic sana that people forget to check when they're buying a laptop, they always seem like minor issues but ni vitu zinaaffect it's productivity and value for your money
so I'll talk about a few that i know below... 🧵
Unfortunately, I have to admit that I have not done my best. My current situation is a direct consequence of my incompetence. I suck at doing this life thing.
This is an update to my earlier report on the coordinated mobilization and arming of militia across parts of the Rift Valley and western parts of Kenya. That report (Check my quoted tweet below), detailed the oathing ceremonies, the night gatherings, and the involvement of political figures in organizing young men from specific communities. Since then, trusted sources within government have continued to come forward with new information, and what is emerging paints an even more disturbing picture of how far these alleged preparations have advanced.
Reports I have received point to political militia in their hundreds being assembled across several counties, including Trans Nzoia, reportedly targeting western Kenya and Bungoma, Pokot and Marakwet, Turkana, Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Kericho, Nairobi, Kajiado, Kiambu, Murang’a, Nyeri, Laikipia, Nyandarua and Kirinyaga. Each militia member is allegedly paid a monthly salary of 30,000 kes, with an additional 10,000 kes sitting allowance for each meeting attended. According to my sources, this money is transported and physically delivered to the militia by the same veterinary doctor I named in my earlier report operating from the ugly house on the hill. In Nairobi, Kajiado, and parts of central Kenya, the operation allegedly runs through so-called stage managers aka kamageras, who coordinate activity on the ground and provide political cover.
Now, on the economic sabotage component of this plan. The strategy is not random criminality but a deliberate and calculated effort to disarm, wear down, and render targeted communities helpless and hopeless through sustained thuggery, knife attacks, child disappearances, cattle rustling, and relentless pressure on landowners around Uasin Ngishu to sell their land or, as they are told, remain "at their own risk." The goal is to break the spirit and economic backbone of targeted communities before any wider confrontation if necessary. The coordinators behind this plan are the same individuals I named in my earlier report.
The 41vs1 agenda being pushed is a deliberate replay of 2007: the Kikuyu community against the other 41 tribes, the same dangerous arithmetic that produced over 1,300 deaths and displacement that was never fully reversed. To that end, reports I have received indicate that Kikuyu political leaders allied to the current administration have allegedly been funded to the tune of 2.5 billion shillings, money intended to destabilize the region and neutralize potential resistance from within. Meanwhile, broader alliances are allegedly being sought with elements from the Coast and communities in western Kenya. Notably, according to my sources, the Maasai, Luhya, and Kisii communities have publicly refused to participate. Even in parts of Mount Kenya, the alleged organizers are said to face limited reach and credibility.
History is repeating itself in plain sight. Today, the political temperature is rising again, but this time the alleged plans are being flagged early by elders, citizens, churches, and concerned voices across the country. Framing legitimate national discontent over the economy, governance, and accountability as ethnic persecution or justification for balkanization is a deliberate distraction that benefits only the political class while impoverishing everyone else through fear, thuggery, and lost livelihoods.
We must stop the drums of war now. 2007 caught people off guard; this time the warnings are visible and public. Kenyans of all communities share the same daily struggles: sky-high living costs, insecurity, unemployment, and broken promises. No community wins when children disappear, cows are stolen, or families are forced off land they have farmed for decades. The real divide is between the political elite of all ethnicities and ordinary citizens who are being played in their hunger games.

This was more than 20 years ago, Mr. Hassan Omar Hassan. An apology for recent inflammatory and tribal remarks does not erase a long record or change what many believe you have consistently stood for. Keep your apology. NO THANKS!

Auditor General reveals massive irregularities in the latest audit on the eCitizen platform.
We’ve done a deep thread on the audit for the FY ended June 2025 — here’s the summary.
Read and share widely:
KRA is not playing with KTDA.
KTDA buys and sells tea leaves. Not tea. Tea ni chai. Chai ni ya kukunyua. Tea leaves ni majani ya chai. Kirui are we together?
Now,
KTDA was growing very fast. They wanted the Gulf people to taste the classical definition of proper Kenyan tea.
In 2008, they opened a branch in Dubai. Branch role, to market and sell tea in the Gulf.
In this setup, KRA was eating well. Because branches are like agents. They sell and send all profits back home.
So Dubai sold tea. Profits came back to Kenya. KTDA consolidated everything. And handed KRA a biig fat cheque.
KRA was extremely happy.
In 2014, KTDA got tired of tickling KRA.
They discovered.
- If they register a separate company in Dubai
- Gulf profits won’t be taxed in Kenya
- And Dubai tax was 0% too
So no taxes nowhere.
Directors said: Perfect. Do it. Fast!
As they are doing all this, they are unaware of one dangerous sentence sitting quietly in Kenyan tax law.
It reads:
• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan resident company.
The Dubai company was registered. Life was good. Money was flowing. Zero income tax.
Next year, KRA noticed their cheque suddenly got thinner.
They asked KTDA Kenya, ndugu ni nini inaendelea hapa?
KRA got the shocking news of its life from KTDA.
- We do not have a problem paying taxes. But the Dubai branch has been upgraded to a full Dubai company. And profits are no longer coming home to be taxed.
KRA could not believe it. It returned to Times Tower. And embarked a fault finding mission.
In 2021, they found out:
- Directors of KTDA Dubai were all Kenyans
- They lived and drank tea in Kenya
- They controlled every single affair of KTDA Dubai from Kenya
Wakasema baas, nini ingine tunatafuta?
They invoked the one dangerous sentence. You remember it?
• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan company.
KRA declared KTDA Dubai a Kenyan company
• Tax demanded 122M
KTDA ran to court with Dubai registration papers.
The judges questioned KRA why it wanted to harvest where Kenya did not plant?
KRA responded: My Lords, if your hen lays eggs in your neighbour’s land, is that egg yours or your neighbour’s?
Judges paused.
Then sided with KRA.
KTDA wakaabiwa walipe tax.
Case closed.
Lesson.
• Structure your offshore company properly.
• Or KRA will structure it for you.
For those who received this “love message” from the Taxman:
“Dear (Kamau, Omondi, Wafula, Korir, Kalonzo — who have I left out…),
KRA has established that you earned income of KES 2,930,515 subject to Withholding Tax (WHT). The tax due on this income is KES 639,777. Kindly pay this tax on or before 30-04-2026. For assistance on payment or filing, reach us via WhatsApp on 0711 099 999.”
DON’T PANIC
When they talked about income and expense validation, this is what it meant.
They already have visibility of your income and expenses for the year through data transmitted via eTIMS though this may not reflect the correct position.
So, where do you start?
1. Confirm if this reflects your correct tax position as per your books ( hope you have some 😎)
-Kenya’s tax system is still a self-assessment regime !Prepare your tax return to establish the correct position.
-If you had expenses that were not supported through eTIMS, the KRA system assumes you had no expenses.
-If you have proper records with complete supplier details, deduct those expenses from the income and compute tax on the revised profit position.
Remember, the KRA position is based on the data they have; it is not absolute.
-If the KRA income figure is higher than your actual income (e.g., due to erroneous eTIMS invoices or cancellations done “verbally”), you can make accounting adjustments by raising credit notes and support your position accordingly.
2. Confirm whether you fall under the instalment tax regime
-Remember, instalment tax has a threshold. The 30th April deadline relates to the final instalment under this regime. If you’re not under instalment tax, June is not far off.
3. If the KRA position reflects your actual tax liability—PAY
-Tax is unavoidable—be compliant.
-If you are unable to pay in full, request a payment plan. Don’t panic.
4. Shift from reactive to proactive tax planning
-If there is no expense reflected in the KRA message, it means no expenses were transmitted against your PIN.
-Review and adjust your business model accordingly.
5. Invest in knowledge -Join my next tax masterclass and understand how to manage your tax affairs proactively.
