BREAKING: The Budget & Appropriations Committee, chaired by Sam Atandi, has proposed adding an extra Sh345 million to the Office of President William Ruto in its report to Parliament, which MPs will now vote on.

The same report also proposes adding Sh408.7 million to the National Police.

At the same time, it recommends cutting Sh240 million from funds meant for social protection programmes and support for older citizens.

Think about that for a moment.

More money for the Presidency.
More money for security agencies.
Less money for vulnerable Kenyans and senior citizens.

We were told there is no money. But when you follow the budget, you quickly realize the issue is not that money is unavailable. The issue is where the government chooses to spend it.

And what happened to the austerity promises by Ruto?

Yes, the Committee also proposes reducing the State House budget by Sh200 million. But even after that cut, the Office of the President still comes out ahead by about Sh145 million overall.

Budgets reveal priorities better than speeches ever can.

The 2026 Finance Bill proposes to increase rent by raising residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%, which is expected to trigger higher monthly rent for tenants.

All I have seen from the 2026 finance bill is taxes and more taxes, continuing to overtax a population that is on its elastic limit is not it

Looking for a dysfunctional govt? Look no further. When your CS has no operational budget — and yet you are topping more than Sh200B in questionable confidential vote budgets — in an election year, it’s looting … by any name

Kenya is not at war. No credible threat exists
🫆Yet the military budget jumps Sh101B to Sh250B — while education, health & infrastructure are being cut to the bone
🫆Someone wants the KDF as a procurement conduit - Israel air defence equipment nobody asked for. Follow the money
🫆Sh4.8T budget means tax will double and even triple to allow an insensitive govt honchos to live large

Why is Ruto’s government so obsessed with lands? The 2026 finance bill will make land lease hold and not free hold title deed.

Land will no longer be ancestral or permanently owned. The government can take it after lease hold is over.

Finance Bill 2026 is asking for permission to kill local businesses.

Right now, if your company makes profits, you can choose to:

• Reinvest profits back to business
• Or distribute it as dividends to shareholders

Finance Bill 2026 wants that removed. And be replaced by one hard rule. That,

• At least 60% of your profits can be treated as dividends by KRA. Even if you did NOT distribute anything.

“At least” means minimum.

KRA can push it to: 70%, 80% even 90% if they don't like you.

Read that again.

Meaning:

• If you reinvest all your profits in your business, KRA will says:

- Noo. At least 60% must be distributed to shareholders. And since you didn’t, we will assume you did, and demand dividend tax from you.

As a result:
• You are taxed on money you never paid out
• 5%–15% withholding tax on “deemed” dividends

Who is in cooked?
• SMEs reinvesting profits to expand
• Manufacturing businesses expanding
• Real estate firms with paper profits but no cash

Who is safe?
• SEZ companies
• NIFC companies
• REITs
Because their dividends are already exempt.

But for everyone else, this is a forced dividend rule.

The govt is no longer waiting for you to run your business. They want KRA to run it for you.

Is this fair taxation? Or forced extraction?

It looks like the kshs 13 billion renovations of statehouse did not benefit from any input by professional engineers or architects.

From disco light fitted walls to this roof, it looks like everything was done by engineering of eyes😂😂😂😂

As they say, you can take a man from the village but cannot take the village out of the man!

No wonder they have been hiding it behind those ugly parapet!
