You’re competing with *three* teams at AWS, who have never spoken to one another. When these products eventually ship they will be gated behind a crappy interface and, in this specific microVM Lambda case, have some security behaviors I can only describe as “alarming.”

Tax experts - correct me if I am wrong, but this is what I understand KRA’s proposal in the finance bill 2026 to be.
Assume I made revenue of 100,000
All my costs are 80,000.
My net profit is this 20,000.
KRA at present expects 30% of this as corporate tax.
Leaving me with 14,000.
I can pull that out as dividends, at which point KRA will tax me.
Or, I can plough it back into the business.
KRA’s proposal is to TAX at MINIMUM 60% of this, the ceiling being at the discretion of the commissioner general.
This makes absolutely NO SENSE to me.
Not only are you punishing reinvestment, you are hitting hard new businesses that are the most likely to reinvest their profits, not to mention businesses that are growing organically.

Unafanya biashara and pay the required corporate tax.
Alafu una lipa dividends to the owners of capital
KRA inaona bado umebakisha pesa
Wanataka ku tax tena
Sasa wakichukua yote utapata pesa ya ku expand business wapi na watatoa future taxes wapi?
Si watunyonge baas!
