Argentina vs Cape Verde is the best game of this World Cup so far. What a game! 🔥
Every time you thought Argentina had won it, Cape Verde found a way back. If only the rest of the African teams had shown that same mentality😭❤️
Drama in Court as Foreign National Asks What Type of Food He Will Be Fed While in Custody, Rejects Ugali and Cabbage.
Hodgkinson Enock, a foreign national accused of being unlawfully present in Kenya, was left upset after being informed that he would remain in custody for several more days. He reportedly asked the court what type of food he would be fed while in custody, saying he could not eat ugali and cabbage.
This is one of the most disturbing stories in Kenya right now.
Kenyans may have been breathing cancer-linked chemicals through fuel fumes for years, and hardly anyone is talking about it.
COFEK has gone to court accusing Swiss firm SICPA of adding chemical fuel markers allegedly linked to dangerous halogenated compounds found in Kenyan fuel samples tested abroad.
The claims are terrifying.
According to the case, the compounds allegedly:
- Can be carcinogenic
- Damage human health
- Harm the environment
- Even affect vehicle engines
And here is the craziest part:
These chemicals were supposedly added in the name of “protecting” Kenya from fuel adulteration and tax fraud.
So imagine fueling your car, boda boda or generator every week thinking the system is protecting you,
Only to later hear allegations that the same system may have exposed millions of people to toxic substances.
If these claims are proven true, then this stops being just another procurement scandal.
It becomes a public health disaster.
And once again, ordinary Kenyans are the ones paying the price with their lungs, health and money while powerful people and foreign companies cash out quietly.
This country is exhausting.
The worst part of applying for jobs is having to write cover letters explaining my deep passion for a company I had no idea existed until I saw the job listing 2 hours ago😭😭😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is Miringa, a Kenyan Gen Z who has created a ‘People’s IEBC’ to prevent any form of rigging.
He has come up with a way for Kenyans to ensure that Kasongo doesn't manipulate results even if the internet is switched off.
Gen Z wako kadi 2027!
KRA has gained another weapon.
One that will make serial nil return filers hesitate before clicking that NIL button.
Last month, this tax dispute left many ears tingling.
There is a restaurant called Avery Lounge.
I have no clue how they mastered it, but they cook the finest fish in Utawala.
Just next to Banta. My friend Kasimu recently took me there.
The place also offers the most spectacular rooftop view of Embakasi.
But there was one small problem.
- Despite all that poshness, Avery Lounge kept filing nil tax returns.
KRA became curious.
So they sent their spies.
The spies returned with a disturbing report:
- Bosi, the place is full. People are eating life like tomorrow has been cancelled.
KRA was enraged.
- How could such a big restaurant keep declaring zero income?
So KRA went straight for their bank accounts.
And what did they find?
- Millions flowing in.
At that point KRA lost its remaining patience.
They demanded for:
- financial statements
- purchase & expense records
- explanations for the deposits
But Avery provided none of them.
KRA became even more dramatic.
- They totaled all the bank deposits for the year.
- Baptized them as income.
- Then applied 30% income tax on the entire amount.
And sent Avery a tax demand of ksh 93 million.
Avery ran to court.
- They argued that some of the deposits were loans.
- And that KRA had not factored in real expenditures like purchases & Wages
But there was a small problem.
- They had no loan agreements.
- No documentation for expenses.
- Nothing.
The court looked at the situation and said:
- Since the taxpayer refused to provide records, KRA had no choice but to treat the bank deposits as income.
And with that, the court told Avery:
- Pay the 93 million tax bill.
Case closed.
So what is the lesson here for you?
If you have money flowing through your bank accounts, and you cannot explain the source,
KRA will simply decide:
- All deposits = income.
- And tax those deposits.
Therefore:
- Be careful with nil returns.
- Keep records. In tax matters, records are king.
@davewere@orengo_james What has Owidi himself done? He’s yapping, thanks to freedoms achieved by Orengo among others. That’s why Orengo keeps getting reelected.
