My win in Benin was not recognised, Ps Elijah Mwangi made a commitment to reimburse on all my self sponsored events including Singapore, Benin & Egypt. To date none of them has been reimbursed despite formal following up. The federation has not yet channelled the funds 4 months later. I have missed 3 international competitions despite being assured the support. We applied for paraguay funding in july

Ndugu @EugeneLWamalwa and his niece Alice dropped by the office today to present me with the Late Michael Kijana Wamalwa’s book “My Country First” . I thank the entire Wamalwa family for their contribution to this Nation’s history and hope that we will continue walking together to see the dreams Mike had for the country become reality.

There is new creepy propaganda that @HEBabuOwino and @orengo_james are sidelining @edwinsifuna. In HomaBay, Babu protected his twin brother Sifuna with his life. Without Sifuna there is no Babu, and without Babu there is no Sifuna. Kenyans expect Politics Unusual from the duo.

The near silence in the room when Prof. Hino and Prof Nyong’o spoke of corruption and wastage in government as the biggest impediments to Kenya’s progress confirms the chickens were preaching salvation to the hawks.

[Lincoln. @linc_ke3]

Now this is what we want to see. Sifuna is somewhere, Caroli is also meeting people in another place, khalwale ameshika wake uko kakamega, Babu pia ako awasi pale kisumu...alafu sisi pia tuko online. Hii injili lazima ifikie kila mtu😂🔥

NO,NO, NO Mr. so called President!!!

You don’t get to talk about threats when your administration has spent the last few years becoming the biggest threat to ordinary Kenyans. And this habit of calling everyone who disagrees with you “anti-development” has to stop. Kenyans have every right to question you. That’s not being against progress. That’s holding the people in power accountable.

You keep asking Kenyans to rally behind your government. For what exactly? To celebrate more taxes? More borrowing? More broken promises? Support is earned, Mr. President. It isn’t demanded. So please stop with this nonsense of blaming the opposition every time things aren’t working. You asked Kenyans to trust you with the country. The least you can do is take responsibility for what has happened under your watch.

The opposition is not responsible for the state of our economy. You are. You’ve been in charge. If businesses are struggling, if taxes have become unbearable, if millions of Kenyans are working harder than ever but getting nowhere, that’s YOUR RECORD, not theirs.

WANTAM!!

The united opposition must stop behaving as though removing President William Ruto is a complete national programme, because Kenyans are dealing with youth unemployment, public debt of more than Sh13 trillion, rising taxes, collapsing businesses, abductions, police abuse, corruption and a government that has made ordinary life painfully expensive.

Yes, most Kenyans want Ruto gone, but then what, because replacing one unpopular government with politicians who have no clear economic plan, no serious reform programme and no idea where the money will come from is not change.

If Kalonzo Musyoka wants to become President, Kenyans must hear how he intends to run the country, create jobs, protect businesses, reform the police, stop abductions and deal with debt that was borrowed outside the law or stolen before reaching the public.

This must be stated clearly, Kenya cannot continue paying odious debts that were contracted illegally, hidden from Parliament, stolen by officials or spent on projects that never benefited the people, because taxpayers cannot be forced to repay money they never received.

The opposition must promise a full public audit of every loan, publish where the money went and refuse to honour debts that were borrowed or spent outside the Constitution and public finance laws.

I know stupid, emotional Kenyans will say Ruto should go first, then we will cross the bridge when we get there, together with all the usual Abunuwasi stories people tell whenever they do not want to ask serious questions.

We do not need an opposition waiting to inherit power simply because Ruto is weak, we need an agenda, clean hands and leaders prepared to tell lenders that illegal debt belongs to the people who stole it, not Kenyan taxpayers...

@_KithureKindiki If the opposition is 'policy-bankrupt,' the best way to prove it is by debating their ideas, not declaring the outcome before voters have spoken. In a democracy, no candidate is guaranteed victory until the ballots are counted."

The Finance Bill, 2026 was published on 30th April and is now before Parliament and every Kenyan deserves to know what is in it.

The government targets Ksh3.63 trillion in revenue for 2026/27 and a wider budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP in the 2026/27 fiscal year (July-June) up from 4.7% in 2025/26. These are not unreasonable fiscal objectives but the manner in which the burden of achieving them is distributed is a cause for serious concern.

On tax filing timelines, the Bill moves the income tax return deadline to April 30th which is two months earlier than the current June 30th and compresses nil return filing to January 31st. This reduces the time available for audit completion, cash flow planning and compliance. For small businesses and individual traders, this is not administrative reform. It is an additional compliance cost they can ill afford.

On mitumba, the Bill inserts a new Section 12H into the Income Tax Act which deems profit at 5% of customs value payable upfront before goods are released by KRA as a final tax. A trader importing a bale worth Ksh1 million pays Ksh50,000 regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss. I cannot in good conscience describe this as equitable.

 The Bill increases residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%. Absent a serious enforcement framework, this will drive non-compliance rather than revenue. The government must fix the enforcement gap before it increases the rate. One without the other is burden-shifting.

On digital financial services, the Bill removes existing VAT exemptions on money transfers and payment processing. These are the tools of financial inclusion that millions of Kenyans including the very people this government says it wants to reach rely on daily. Making them more expensive will not serve the objective of a broader tax base.

 By including interchange and merchant service fees within the definition of management or professional fees for withholding tax purposes, the Bill introduces a compliance burden into automated banking processes. That burden will be passed on to businesses and ultimately to consumers.

The amendment to Section 24 of the Income Tax Act empowers KRA to deem at least 60% of a company's undistributed income as dividends for tax purposes. This fails to account for legitimate decisions on reinvestment, working capital and business growth. It is a retrogressive measure that sends the wrong signal to the investors Kenya needs.

A 25% excise duty on telephones for cellular and wireless networks is proposed. A phone is not a luxury. It is how Kenyans bank, communicate, conduct business and access government services. Parliament must interrogate this carefully.

On PAYE, Kenyans were led to expect relief and a restructuring of the tax bands to ease the burden on salaried workers. That proposal does not appear in this Bill. That is not a minor omission. An explanation is owed to every employed Kenyan who was waiting for it.

To be fair, the Bill is not without merit. The reduction of corporate tax for non-resident companies from 37.5% to 30% improves our investment climate. The extension of the tax amnesty to cover liabilities up to 31st December 2025 provides a genuine and welcome pathway to compliance. VAT exemptions on electric buses, bicycles, dialysers, animal feed raw materials and PPP infrastructure are sensible measures. The clarity introduced on trust taxation ensuring beneficiaries are not taxed on income already taxed at the trust level and the recognition of gratuity contributions as exempt income are also steps in the right direction.

Be that as it may, we cannot afford a repeat of June 2024. Parliament must discharge its oversight role with the seriousness this moment demands. They should not merely rubber-stamp what the Treasury has placed before it. Every clause must be scrutinised. Every punitive or ambiguous provision must be rejected or amended.
