That’s what democracy means.
The Daily Nation on Thursday reveals that expenditure under President William Ruto’s administration is projected to hit nearly Ksh 100 billion, with about 94% directed towards recurrent costs such as salaries, travel and hosting across executive offices.
The Kenya Revenue Authority has abolished the long-standing Nil Returns filing requirement, replacing it with a new "PIN with No Obligation" (PWO) category designed to ease compliance for Kenyans with no taxable income.
Under the new system, individuals registered as PWO — including students and others who need a KRA PIN purely for accessing services like higher education loans — will no longer be required to file annual tax returns, ending a process many found unnecessarily burdensome.
"This is an initiative aimed at enhancing the integrity of the taxpayer register to facilitate a certain category of taxpayers who may not be engaged in gainful and taxable activities but still require a PIN," KRA explained.
Kenyans wishing to register under the PWO category can do so through the iTax portal using only their national identity card.
However, KRA warned that anyone registered as PWO who later begins earning income must promptly update their PIN details and commence annual filing or risk penalties — Ksh2,000 for individuals or five percent of tax due, whichever is higher.
KRA added that a transition pathway for existing PIN holders wishing to switch to PWO status is still under development. The update comes as the authority intensifies its compliance drive ahead of the June 30, 2026 income tax returns deadline.
