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 The PWD Act 2025 repealed assessment fees!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.

A drug I've used daily for the past 24yrs went out of stock early this yr.The alternative brand is 4x more expensive.Word is that camel man & co have hijacked medical imports & messed up the supply chain.Patients are suffering & dying because of this nonsense.
“Stop being so political.” Babe, I would LOVE to go back to painting flowers and talking to the moon, but apparently basic human rights are still up for debate.
MIND YOU, they didn't just die: there were SNIPERS ON ROOFS hunting protesters, others were followed into their homes/other buildings, others were shot AT POINT BLANK RANGE while minding their business e.g. selling masks, bodies were randomly dumped and many are still missing!!!
A country on its knees, borrowing €1.6 million from China to tackle drought, is planning to spend over €5 million to host @FCBayernEN Are we mad? What an insult to a suffering nation! @VincentKompany@HKane@AFCAjax
Kenyatta National Hospital has received Ksh. 130M in donations including 96 orthopedic beds. Presiding over the ceremony, Duale urged private sector to support health industry to achieve UHC. We also just blew 700 million on an exhibition sports match. We are led by idiots.
Fraud. A country full of thieves. A country that's taught it's children that tomorrow is someone else's problem. We all live for today. When things go bad today, we blame the devil and go give all our money to pastors. Never querying our own habits.
Major chocolatiers (Cadbury's, Kitkat, Lindt etc) decided to use a chocolate 'product' so they wouldn't have to buy from West Africa. It failed so some are reverting to real chocolate but in the meantime they're probably dumping their shit stock here like they do w/other things.
We're being told that Sifuna hasn't had enough time to learn corruption and bloodletting of Kenyan taxpayers, and he should take time to do that then he'll be ready?
That's the condition for running for presidency? Because that's what the old men are saying if you distill it.
Kenya is run by mad men.
In 2018 logging had been banned in because forests were being depleted at the rate of about 5,000 hectares per annum. This led to an estimated annual reduction in water availability of 62 million cubic metres.
But now @KIPPRAKENYA reports that “because the government lifted the ban on logging in Oct 2023 in commercial forests to allow “harvest of mature trees” the @KeForestService (KFS) produced a set of rules that will “guide” the harvesting of 5,000 hectares of commercial forests per annum of the 150,000 hectares of gazetted public forest”
So how do you @KeForestService decide to harvest at the same rate that saw Kenya losing 62Million cubic metres of water annually? Have you lost your minds? If losing 5,000 hectares a year was a crisis in 2018, why is cutting 5,000 hectares a year acceptable now?
Also who got the tender? I want to see something.
Many of us claim to want the liberation of women, but only if said women act and behave exactly like we want them to. God forbid women make choices that don’t align with our vision of womanhood; then we hurl all sorts of insults towards them. Surely there has to be a better way.
