A landmark court ruling has sent shockwaves through Kenya’s gig economy. The High Court has upheld the Kenya Revenue Authority’s (KRA) demand that tech-logistics firm Sendy must pay KSh 82 million in VAT, after finding that the company was not just a platform connecting customers and delivery riders, it was, in effect, the actual service provider. This decision could redefine how digital platforms like Bolt, Uber, Glovo, and Jumia are taxed.

The court’s reasoning? Control equals liability. Sendy billed customers directly, collected payments, and dictated service terms, meaning it was more than a digital middleman. As a result, the court ruled that VAT applies to the full value of transactions, not just the platform’s commission. That means 16% VAT on every delivery or service booked through such apps, a move that could sharply increase costs across Kenya’s digital economy.

For Kenya’s booming gig sector, the implications are massive. Platforms may now have to register for VAT, overhaul contracts, and pass extra costs to users or service providers. Drivers, riders, and freelancers who depend on these apps could see reduced earnings as platforms adjust to the new tax burden. Consumers, too, might start feeling the pinch through higher prices.

KRA is celebrating this as a win for tax fairness, arguing that big tech platforms must pay their fair share. But critics say this move risks strangling innovation in Kenya’s digital economy, a sector that has empowered thousands of youth to earn a living through flexible work. With rising taxes and tightening rules, some fear that global and local startups alike may start to pull back from Kenya’s market.

In short, this ruling could be the moment Kenya’s gig economy grew up, or the moment it stumbled. Either way, the taxman is coming for the platforms that power the digital hustle. The question now is whether the government will find a balance between taxing innovation and killing the opportunity it creates.

A few tips for tomorrow.

1. Organize yourselves in small groups. Make sure you can account for everyone in your group. Have each other’s contacts & look out for each other.

2. Don’t carry any weapons, sticks, stones or sharp objects. This is a peaceful March & we shall not tolerate any criminals.

3. Carry a water bottle, face mask & handkerchief because chances are, you’ll need one or all of them.

4. Know your rights and be firm but responsible about them. Don’t disrupt other people’s business or property.

5. Make sure you are heard & seen. Carry a placard or wear a statement teeshirt with your message.

6. The correct hashtag is #March2Parliament not #March2Paliament or #Match2Parliament

See you there! ✊🏽

Looks like West African countries all went to the same tailor to get their flags done. Can't blame tailor. Y'all can't go to same person for a piece of cloth. Ghana must have arrived first and was given a black star patched in yellow, green, red.

The guy on my right is my friend, gango, brother, and big-time buddy @Kadugala_ He's got a great sense of humour & will talk your ear off about Real Madrid, Lewis Hamilton & the NBA.

He is an avid gamer and we usually get together on Wednesdays for some gaming sessions at @NextLevelUG

Anyway, we've been at it for a while now but recently, after a few weeks of him missing out, I reached out to find out what the issue was and I was hit with the most heartbreaking news.

It is so sad how we can have friends and we never really know what battles they are privately fighting. Many people struggle with issues and we never know until we reach out.

For a very long time, I’ve enjoyed a happy friendship with this guy unaware that he has been battling a chronic ailment. We always talked about so many things but he never ever mentioned that he was struggling with Leukemia - until recently.

He has been in and out of the treatment room and every time he comes out, he wears a smile, hiding the fact that just moments prior, he was flirting with death.

Moses a.k.a Kadugala is such a tough guy that you’d never know he’s struggling. After finding out his secret, I had a chat with him and learnt some even more disheartening news. My boy is trying to fight the disease but there is also a not-so-small matter of a huge medical bill.

And this is where you, my friends, come in.

Friends, if you can offer any kind of financial support to my guy, please send him some shillings because this fight has become so expensive.

He told me that he needs about UGX 5,000,000 but I see no reason why we can't raise a bit more for him. He is such a kind soul that I think he deserves to continue wearing his smile, knowing that he is not fighting alone.

I am sharing his Mobile Money numbers (with his permission) and praying that if you can't send him some MM, at least drop him a message of encouragement. He continues to wear a smile despite everything but I know that behind the smile is excruciating pain.

MM numbers are 0774072657 or 0741776345 Muhiirwe Moses

Please don't send any money to me or anyone else except him.

I thank you. 🙏
