When we elected William Ruto, we had positions we wanted for ourselves such as the CS National Treasury, CS Interior and for CS Agriculture.- Rigathi Gachagua

What I meant to say by my statement that Ruto is boasting with Raila before he died, is that life is dynamic. - Rigathi Gachagua

My fellow teachers and I have our own homes, so we are yet to fully understand why we are being deducted the Housing Levy. However, I support the markets being built because business people will benefit. Roads also need to be improved to reduce accidents and positively impact the economy of this area - Mwalimu Ibrahim Kundu

The government's provision of a modern market space has greatly improved our business here in Makueni. I started by selling oranges and mangoes along the roadside, where business was difficult because of rain, sun and constant competition. After joining other traders in the market through our group, we now have a stable place to sell, customers can easily find us, and our business is growing as we work together and support each other - Rajab Muhammad: Trader, Makueni County

Close to 400,000 Kenyans owe the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) KSh 759.7 billion, an amount edging dangerously close to one trillion shillings. That figure alone brings into sharp focus President William Ruto’s often-cited Singapore dream.

For years, and rightly so, Kenyans have blamed the government for underdevelopment and rampant embezzlement of public funds. But perhaps it is time we also turn the mirror on ourselves. More than 60 years after independence, the country still relies heavily on formally employed Kenyans to shoulder the tax burden, contributing to persistent fiscal deficits.

It is not uncommon to find a Kenyan earning KSh 30,000 paying taxes religiously every month, while a businessman earning over a million shillings pays nothing at all. Ironically, the same millionaire will loudly demand better roads, quality healthcare and improved public services, yet makes no contribution toward funding them.

The issue goes beyond the 390,000 tax defaulters identified by KRA. There are many more outside the tax net, and the government must find effective ways to bring them into the nation-building process through fair and consistent taxation.

Before his death, Raila Odinga repeatedly argued that Kenya must expand its tax base, instead of overburdening the already taxed formally employed population.

If more Kenyans paid taxes honestly, the country would ease pressure on salaried workers and significantly reduce its dependence on borrowing. However, calls for wider tax compliance must go hand in hand with a serious fight against corruption and wastage of public resources.

On that note, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) appears to be falling short of its mandate. If Kenya is serious about development and accountability, urgent reforms and renewed resolve in the fight against corruption are no longer optional; they are necessary.

By the way, in my very honest opinion, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) should be disbanded and a newer, more powerful anti-graft watchdog formed.

Ni hayo tu kwa sasa.

Seems this man is advocating for a dictatorship in Kenya.

[Business Today Kenya @Business_KE]

Misinformation Alert!

Here is the full clip of President William Ruto’s remarks on successful dictatorships. In his statement, the President also emphasizes that democracies like Kenya can achieve success when they are built on strong institutions and vibrant, well-structured political parties.

Authority is not inherited through senior titles. Like Nehemiah was entrusted to rebuild Jerusalem,Dr Oburu Odinga has been given the mandate to steady and rebuild ODM. A Senior Counsel ( James Orengo) who opposed Raila Odinga at every critical moments cannot now claim moral authority over a legacy he resisted ~ TJ Kajwang

This is the bitter truth

No bank will give you a loan to buy an affordable housing unit.

If you think I am lying, go to any bank and ask for a loan to buy an affordable housing unit, then come and share the response here.

By the way, I am not against the affordable housing programme.
