The NTSA mandatory annual vehicle inspection is the Motor Vehicle Tax that was impugned in the disgraced 2024 Finance Bill but is now being reintroduced with a different name.
It is a TAX.
Reject it.
@KenyaPower_Care@wakilinaph What is this rebilling thing. I'm also affected and it pains me. I cleared the REREC fee loaded when my house was connected. it's 2yrs now and they load 27,146 for refilling. I never used free power since I'm on prepaid. Wizi tupu.
The Government will create at least 36,000 new jobs every year in the economy if it implements a 5% reduction in Pay As You Earn (PAYE) for all workers across all income tax bands.
The 5% PAYE reduction will also release about KES 28.1 billion into the economy each year, generate nearly KES 42 billion in additional economic output, and strengthen demand for goods and services from MSMEs across the country.
The reduction will also unlock up to KES 140 billion in additional lending capacity from banks and other formal financial services providers, supporting business expansion, investment, and job creation.

Kenyans’ real incomes have declined by about 10.7%–12% over the last five years due to rising taxes, multiple statutory deductions, and the high cost of living.
The banking industry’s proposal for a uniform 5% reduction in PAYE across all income bands seeks to strengthen household purchasing power, stimulate economic growth, and support long-term government revenue stability.
Our analysis shows that a uniform 5% PAYE reduction for all salaried workers will:
• Release KES 28.1 billion into the economy every year
• Generate close to KES 42 billion in immediate GDP output
• Make up to KES 140 billion available for bank loans to MSMEs
• Support approximately 36,000 jobs every year
• Expand GDP by about KES 210 billion over the medium term, helping recover the initial revenue foregone through increased economic activity
The proposal also seeks to restore fairness in the tax system, noting that the current top PAYE rate of 35% is higher than the 30% corporate tax rate, contrary to the National Tax Policy, which recommends that individuals should not be taxed more than companies.

NYAMIRA CONSTITUTIONAL PETITION NO. E007 OF 2026: LAW SOCIETY OF KENYA V. ENERGY AND PETROLEUM REGULATORY AUTHORITY & OTHERS
EXECUTIVE NOTICE: LSK CHALLENGES CONSTITUTIONALITY OF PETROLEUM PRICING AND LEVIES
The Law Society of Kenya moved to the High Court to challenge the legality of the current petroleum pricing regime, asserting that the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) and the Ministry of Energy are in breach of the mandatory constitutional principles governing public finance and administrative justice.
The Petition, https://t.co/8DPIBcWPij, argues that the imposition of various petroleum levies lacks a valid legal and consultative foundation, violating Article 10 on national values of transparency and accountability, and Article 201 which requires openness and public participation in all financial matters.
Furthermore, the Society contends that the Respondents have failed to provide the "comprehensive and independently verified risk assessment" required under Article 35, effectively denying Kenyans their right to information regarding the economic burden of fuel costs.
The matter was placed before Lady Justice T. Cherere on 19th May 2026, where the court took immediate cognizance of the significant public interest involved. The Court has issued urgent directions requiring the Petition and the Notice of Motion to be served upon all Respondents immediately, with a strictly abridged timeline for the filing of responses.
A mention to confirm compliance and secure further conservatory orders is scheduled for 28th May 2026, marking a pivotal moment in our quest to ensure that executive policy remains subordinate to the Constitution.
The Society extends its gratitude to Wilkins Ochoki for his selfless commitment in representing the LSK in this Public Interest Litigation on a pro bono basis.

Moi campaigned freely in retirement. We didn’t see outrage or hear lectures. During the campaign for the new constitution, Ruto was very happy to campaign with Moi on the no side.
But when it comes to Uhuru, suddenly there are new rules.
Why the double standards?
What is it about Uhuru that unsettles them so deeply?
When he speaks, they panic. When he is silent, they manufacture propaganda.
They can be rattled all they want and rant all they wish, but Uhuru will not be silenced.
