KRA has graduated to your tax accountant,
Courtesy of the Finance Act, 2026.
• Starting in January 2027, it is KRA that shall FIRST tell you, what income it believes you earned in 2026. And what taxes you shall therefore pay.
KRA will do this by generating a pre populated income tax return using the information it already has, such as:
• eTIMS data
• PAYE records
• Withholding tax records
• Plus any other information already in KRA systems
KRA shall then send you this pre-populated return by 31st January 2027.
Once you receive it, you have 2 MONTHS (February and March), and 2 OPTIONS. To either:
• Confirm it. If it is correct. Or,
• Reject & amend it. If KRA got the numbers wrong. And provide your own numbers together with supporting documents.
- If you make your amendments late. Or,
- You do not make any amendments at all,
KRA shall conclude that you have agreed with its assessment, and you shall pay the KRA generated tax bill.
After that, you can use the amended or confirmed return to file your taxes as follows:
• If you are a human being, file by April 30th 2027.
• If you have no flesh & blood (company, partnership, trust, etc), file by June 30th.
(Or the last day of the sixth month after your accounting year ends.)
One more critical mistake to watch.
• Do not assume KRA's numbers are always correct. The law has expressly given you the right to accept or reject the pre-populated return before filing.
Lessons:
• Proper bookkeeping is King in 2026.
• Mark the new tax timelines in your calendar.
Now, reread this slowly.

The Only Power BI Skills You Need To Land Your First Job📊
The Learning Trap:
Many beginners waste time:
• Watching long tutorials without practice
• Obsessing over advanced DAX
• Avoiding projects due to “not ready yet” mindset
• Ignoring design and storytelling
Reality Check:
For entry-level Power BI roles, focus on these key skills:
1. Data Loading & Transformation
- Import from Excel, SQL, web, etc.
- Use Power Query for cleaning: remove nulls, split columns, filter data
2. Data Modeling
- Create relationships (1:many, many:1)
- Understand star schema basics
- Set correct data types and table roles
3. Basic DAX Functions
- `SUM`, `AVERAGE`, `COUNTROWS`
- `CALCULATE`, `FILTER`
- `IF`, `SWITCH`, `RELATED`
4. Visualizations
- Use bar, line, pie, card, slicer
- Create drill-down and tooltip features
- Format visuals cleanly (colors, alignment, consistency)
5. Interactivity & Filters
- Use slicers, filters, bookmarks
- Enable drill-through to detail pages
6. Publishing & Sharing
- Publish to Power BI Service
- Schedule data refresh
- Manage workspaces and permissions
7. Business Context
- Focus on KPIs, trends, and insights
- Tell a clear data story with your report
Final Tip:
Build 2 real-world projects (e.g., Sales Dashboard, HR Analytics) — that’s what hiring managers want to see.
Rwanda keeps showing most of Africa what it refuses to try.
Most people think brick means red. Brown. The colour of laterite and fired earth. That’s all we imagine when someone says “build with local materials.”
This is African Leadership University, Kigali. The brick is pale. Almost cream. Still clay, still local, made in Muhanga, 1.5 hours from the site, fired in coffee-husk-powered kilns. Same earth, different result. Rwanda didn’t abandon local material for aesthetics. They refined it.
The structure underneath is compressed stabilized earth blocks fabricated on site. Six terraced levels down a 40-metre hillside. No air conditioning in most of the building. Shaded corridors and natural ventilation handle Kigali’s climate. An 1,800 cubic metre stormwater pond manages the rain. The hill, the wind, the earth, all doing structural and environmental work.
Furniture made on site. Lighting made on site. Signage, lockers, benches, all local fabrication. Rwanda didn’t just use local material for the walls. They used local hands for everything inside.
This is not an exception. This is a pattern. And the buildings speak for themselves.
