Did you know you don't always have to go to the cells for a minor traffic offense

​Under Section 116 of the Traffic Act, an officer has the legal power to issue you a Notice to Attend Court (NTAC) instead of arresting you or towing your car on the spot. This official document acts as a formal court summons, allowing you to drive away and continue your day safely.

​The condition is simple: you must present yourself to the designated traffic court at the exact date and time written on the slip. By law, this notice must be served to you within 14 days of the alleged offense.

​Just don't ignore it! Because it carries the weight of a court summons, skipping your date automatically triggers a warrant of arrest.

Kenya has introduced a new 25% tax on software subscriptions.

One of the principles of a good tax system is simplicity.

Taxes should be easy to understand. Easy to comply with. And inexpensive to administer.

Finance Act 2026 has introduced new rules for software subscriptions.

• The Act now classifies payments for software licences and software subscriptions as royalties.

- As a result, every time you pay an overseas software company, you are now required to withhold 20% tax and remit it to KRA.

- Then pay the software company the remaining 80%.

For example.

Suppose you pay Google, Amazon or Microsoft USD 1,000 every year for software subscriptions.

The law says:
• Confiscate 20%, USD 200.
• Remit it to KRA.

Then pay the software company USD 800.

There is only one problem, however.
- Software subscriptions are paid either in full or not at all.

Google does not care that you have complied with the Kenyan tax laws. You either pay them 1,000 USD or go home.

So what happens to continue using the software and keep KRA happy?

- You pay Google their full USD 1,000.

In doing so, KRA treats the USD 1,000 as the net amount after withholding tax. That means the original invoice is deemed to have been USD 1,250. How?

Ulikua unaangalia mwalimu na ruler ukiuliza hesabu ya cross multiplication itakusaidia aje maishani. Ona Sasa.

If USD 1,000 = 80%,
Then 100% = USD 1,250.

The withholding tax therefore becomes USD 250.

Meaning:
• Google gets their full USD 1,000.
• Then you go back to your pocket to pay KRA USD 250.

Total software cost = USD 1,250.

In effect, the law has quietly introduced a 25% tax on many software subscriptions.

Even if a small taxpayer genuinely wanted to comply, how exactly are they supposed to comply when the giant software company insists on being paid in full?

This is the new law. Adjust accordingly.

@WashiraX Why should you make it easy for someone who wants to take your money, albeit legally?

[CPA Wachira Joseph @WashiraX]

KRA wants a share of dowry money.

There is a guy called Kamau.

When it was time to buy his wife, he mobilized his most monied buddies.

He put them in a WhatsApp group. The fundraising began.

Those boys were loaded. They were only 35.
By by the time they were done, they had contributed 4.5 million shillings.

Others who were not in the group wired money directly to Kamau's bank account.

The ruracio D-Day arrived.

And as always, the one and only Kikuyu ruracio anthem was tuned.

🎶 Wero... Werokamu guku kwa wa Kanini... Werokamu... 🎶

Before they could finish the song, more than 2,000 people had pulled up.

Wakaanza kutoa funjo. Then one man stood on a stool and announced they could not sit until they had given Kamau top up money to add to the dowry.

The donation book was hurriedly brought. People lined up. Cash started flowing.

By the end of the day, another 2.8 million shillings had been raised.

Kamau took the money and banked it.

Total dowry contribution sitting at his bank account: 8m shillings.

The ceremony became the talk of Gatundu South.

Kamau paid his dowry. Collected his wife. And went home peacefully.

• Lesson 1. Monied friends are good for paying dowry.

I have no clue how. But sometime later, Kamau was marked for a KRA tax audit.

KRA went straight for his bank statements. They found deposits of 8 million shillings.

Immediately, they baptized the entire amount as undeclared taxable income.

Then demanded: 30% income tax. Penalties plus interest.

Total bill: 2.5 million shillings plus.

When Kamau saw the tax bill, he went mad.
He could try to talk but words would not come out. He nearly swallowed his tongue.

When he came back to real life. He shipped a protest letter to KRA.

He explained the money was dowry contribution from his family, friends and well wishers.

- He produced WhatsApp group fundraising screenshots.
- He produced RTGS confirmations.
- He produced the donation book.
- He even produced videos of the ceremony.

Including footage of the Werokamu song.

KRA could not hear any of it. They only wanted 2.5 million.

When Kamau realized KRA was not playing, he ran to court.

He told the Tribunal:

- My lord, look. I have shown KRA where the money came from.
- I have shown KRA who contributed it.
- I have shown KRA the ceremony.
- What more do they want from me?

KRA responded.
And what they said nearly made the judges fall off their chairs.

They argued the evidence was not convincing.

Why?

• Because the 2,000 plus donors had not sworn affidavits confirming that the money they gave was a donation and not payment for goods or services.

The Tribunal looked at the matter in amusement.

Then ruled.

- Kamau had discharged his burden of proof in full.
- KRA had acted unreasonably by ignoring and disregarding the substantial evidence he provided.
- And most importantly: Income tax is a tax on income. It is not a tax on every deposit appearing in a bank account.

The Tribunal found that KRA was wrong to treat all bank deposits as taxable income without first removing proven non income items such as dowry contributions.

The tax demand was killed.

Kamau won.

KRA retreated to Times Tower. And rested.

Case closed.

• Lesson 2.

- Document everything.

- KRA will push. Push hard.

What Julians has submitted is extremely critical. Extremely.

Right now:
• You partly tell KRA what you earned
• You tell KRA what tax you owe

If finance Bill 2026 passes,

It is KRA that will strictly tell YOU:
• What you earned
• What tax you owe

How?
• By pulling data from anywhere
• eTIMS, banks, third parties, govt ministries integrations, etc

If KRA sends you a tax bill. And it is insane. And you disagree. Who must prove it is wrong?

The bill says it is you.

But here is the danger. KRA is NOT required to tell you:
• Where they got the data from
• Or how they arrived at the figures

So you are left there. Trying to fight numbers you cannot see.

And some of those numbers could be system errors.

Now ask yourself,
- How do you disprove something you don’t even understand? Are you an angel?

What Julians is saying is simple.

If KRA wants to tax you using their data, KRA must prove to you and the courts that that data is:
• Accurate
• Reliable &
• Defensible

Is that a fair argument?
Or should taxpayers just fight ghosts?

Men,

If you have been trying to impregnate a woman for over 12 months without success, stop guessing, go and do a SEMEN ANALYSIS TEST:

This is what a SEMEN ANALYSIS measures and what normal looks like:

Volume: More than 1.5 ml per ejaculate. Fewer than this points to hormonal deficiency, ejaculatory duct obstruction, or retrograde ejaculation.

Sperm Concentration: More than 20 million sperm per millilitre. Below this is OLIGOSPERMIA. The fewer the soldiers, the harder the mission.

Total Sperm Count: More than 40 million sperm per ejaculate. An inadequate sperm count cannot fertilise the egg.

Total Motility: More than 45% of sperm must be moving. Dead or sluggish sperm cannot reach an egg regardless of their number.

Progressive Motility: More than 30% of the population must be swimming forward with purpose. Sperm that move without direction are useless.

Morphology: More than 15% should be in normal forms and shape. A shapeless sperm cannot penetrate an egg.

Vitality: More than 54% must be alive. You can have moving sperm but they are dying.

PH: Above 7.2 is the acceptable limit. Acidic semen kills sperm before they begin the journey.

Your fertility is measurable. Go and test your semen.

KNOW YOURSELF!

People who promote abortion are even afraid to embrace it because it is a brutal, horrendous murder.

Did you know that people who promote abortion were not aborted?
