We have a crisis.

For the last four months. June, July, August and now September. iTax, the primary system for filing returns and collecting Kenyan taxes, has experienced downtimes of monumental proportions.

As a result, taxpayers have been unable to file returns on time, or have had to wait until the system wakes up before they can file.

This has caused immense damages to many. Accountants for example have confessed that they no longer have a life. They sleep on the iTax portal. Refreshing. All night.

Then, a taxpayer fails to file on time because iTax is down. iTax later wakes up. The taxpayer files.

Then KRA religiously airdrops a late filing penalty into the taxpayer's account and demands payment.

This has elicited holy anger against KRA.

Taxpayers are asking, why should I be penalised for failing to use a system that was not functioning?

And this is a justified question.

In my legally informed view, no taxpayer should be penalized for KRA's mistake.

The Tax Procedures Act actually provides a mechanism for dealing with penalties and interest arising from KRA's system failures.

Section 89(5A) allows CS John Mbadi, on the recommendation of KRA, to waive penalties or interest where they arose from, among other things, an error generated by an electronic tax system, a delay in updating the system or a malfunction of KRA system.

KRA has previously waived penalties after iTax downtimes prevented taxpayers from filing on time. In July 2025, KRA announced that penalties and interest arising from the affected filing period would be waived.

So here is my proposal.

- As KRA works to fix and stabilise iTax & eTIMS, it should publicly assure taxpayers that penalties arising directly from its system failures shall be waived.

Then go ahead and actually remove those penalties from taxpayers' accounts.

It would be deeply immoral for KRA to profit from its own system failures.

Is this too much to ask?

Sa’d ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) once said:
“By Allah, I never put a morsel in my mouth unless I knew where it came from.” (Ibn Kathir)
The secret to his accepted du’as?
Pure rizq.
Halal sustenance. A heart untainted. A tongue that could not lie.
When he raised his hands, the heavens listened.

The mechanisms of how fasting work in the body are complicated...

But science does show these 3 main benefits:

1. Autophagy.

Fasting makes this process possible because when there's no food in our system, our body begins to clean out damaged cells & is able to focus on repairing + building new ones.

Israel convinced the World that Iraq had chemical weapons, Iraq, a prosperous old civilization dating to Babylon was reduced to rubble. Then Israel convinced the world Syria was a terrorist State & Syria was attacked. Israel created Hamas in Gaza then labeled them terrorists & the world is watching as Gaza & its people are erased from History & its land. Israel has been telling the world for over 15 YEARS that Iran is TWO WEEKS AWAY from a nuclear bomb. Israel is about to bomb Iran. Israel has labeled Hezbollah, a terrorist organization yet Hezbollah is a political party that wins elections in genuine process. For how long will Israel meddle & bomb all its neighours? History shows that Iran, Syria, Lebanon & Palestinians have never discriminated against Christians. Christianity isn’t tolerated in Israel. Judaism doesn’t recognize Christianity. Judaism rejects & denies the existence of Jesus or that even if he existed, He wasn’t divine: Judaism denies the central tenet of Christianity . Muslims recognize Jesus. Yet, Israel has used Christian US & Europe to destabilize Muslim Countries who aren’t enemies of Christianity.

The cost of building & equipping a NEW KNH referral is KSH 10 billion.

Safaricom will eat 10 KNH hospitals just by building castles in the sky in the name of SHIF.

SHIF is oppression.

SHIF is theft.

SHIF is state capture.

SHIF is a scam.

Say NO to SHIF.
