Nothing about us, without us, yet here we go again. The Draft Income Tax (PWD Exemptions) Regulations 2026 are a direct attack on our hard-won gains.
Here is why I am fighting back:
Hierarchy of Disability: Reg 10(2) ranks disabilities into "mild" & "severe" denying exemptions to "mild." You cannot tier human struggle. Equity isn't a ladder.
Punishing Families: Regs 20–23 restrict relief to only one parent. What about households where both parents carry the load, or families raising multiple children with disabilities?
Illegal Toll gates: A KSh 1,000 fee for assessments? The PWD Act 2025 repealed assessment fees! Why is this draft attempting to break the law just to monetize our access?
Harassment as Policy: Requiring a person with a permanent disability to re-prove their condition every 5 years, and pay for it? Permanent means permanent.
Rights are not privileges to be rented from the state every five years.
I am submitting firm interventions to protect our Constitutional rights. We will not be pushed into the shadows.

Advocate Abshir finally released from state torture chambers and dumped in Marsabit. Currently at Sololo Police Station.A government that treats its citizens as second class citizens with no rights and treats them inhumanly has no moral authority to govern!!
30% are foreigners from other countries who’ve moved here. The small scale business sector is also being flooded by foreign traders, fairs, but where does this leave ordinary Kenyans? Where is the balance?
In a few years, the Kenyan middle class will be a Myth.!
Going through this Comment section & truth is, you may not like how South Africans are saying it but they’re not lying!
Gentrification is a motherfucker! & it’s slowly happening in Nairobi as well.
I live in Westlands where a little over 40% of my neighbors are White…..
Eish what’s happening at Uber these. When you request a cab you don’t get one, but if you “add a fee” you suddenly get one. So you’re paying to be “prioritised”??? @uber_kenya
I dropped out in 3rd year, went into mad depression, I started selling clothes in gikomba, I started hawking chicken huku and when I was ready I went back to school and started a whole new degree from scratch.
I am in the graduation list guysssss🥺🥺
I have cried all morning.
I really don't know why the new Bomas of Kenya isn't as big of a scandal as Anglo-leasing or even NYS. That contract reads like a horror novel! What do you mean they're buying a single table at sh 151 million?! Parking software for 423m! And it's done by army, so "no auditing"!
There’s an ongoing omena shortage, eggs are selling at KES 22 a piece and 500ml of milk at KES 85. Whatever is being manufactured, I hope it gives us enough strength to vote these demons out come August next year
