What Julians has submitted is extremely critical. Extremely.
Right now:
• You partly tell KRA what you earned
• You tell KRA what tax you owe
If finance Bill 2026 passes,
It is KRA that will strictly tell YOU:
• What you earned
• What tax you owe
How?
• By pulling data from anywhere
• eTIMS, banks, third parties, govt ministries integrations, etc
If KRA sends you a tax bill. And it is insane. And you disagree. Who must prove it is wrong?
The bill says it is you.
But here is the danger. KRA is NOT required to tell you:
• Where they got the data from
• Or how they arrived at the figures
So you are left there. Trying to fight numbers you cannot see.
And some of those numbers could be system errors.
Now ask yourself,
- How do you disprove something you don’t even understand? Are you an angel?
What Julians is saying is simple.
If KRA wants to tax you using their data, KRA must prove to you and the courts that that data is:
• Accurate
• Reliable &
• Defensible
Is that a fair argument?
Or should taxpayers just fight ghosts?
🧵 Last Wednesday, past midnight,I drove through Red Hill— Waiyaki Way → Uhuru Hwy → Enterprise Rd → Lunga Lunga Rd → Jogoo Rd → Outering → Thika Rd → Muthaiga → Northern Bypass-Nyari. What I found was a city that has been abandoned by its own road agencies. Let's talk.
It's always difficult being in a room where an outsider is addressing issues that you very well are aware of, advice that has often been brushed aside being tendered afresh to leaders whom you think are listening keenly. Yet the speaker is but a veil in front of the goodies they're eying.
Frustrating to witness Ethiopia’s transformation,knowing that the same designer who authored their street manual also developed one for Kenya.While Ethiopia is turning these designs into reality,Nairobi’s ambitious restoration plans remain trapped on paper @chriskost@EricKigada

In today’s Business Daily, I wrote about why increasing the number of lanes on a road (or building an expressway) does the exact opposite of reducing congestion on the road, since it leads to induced demand.
Each road, instead, should have its problems assessed individually.
My biggest fear is slowly becoming reality. Shipping lines have started applying surge charges for vessels already on the high seas. We are now being informed that no new shipments will be taken until further notice, as no vessels are going on that route for now which affects ME & Africa.
The ripple effect has begun.
There’s a place in Rift Valley that will shock some of you.
Its story began before Kenya gained Independence.
It’s not accidental.
It’s not decorative.
It's just HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT.
A thread 🧵
The $12.5 billion Bishoftu International Airport will serve as Ethiopia’s🇪🇹 new major international aviation hub.
Features:
Four parallel runways, each designed for large wide body aircraft.
State-of-the-art passenger and cargo terminals.
110 million passengers annually.
Space to park 270 planes.
@xysist@iamkipro@RemindMe_OfThis Engineer, I concur with you — this will not be an easy route to handle.
Additionally, do you happen to know whether the designs have already been completed?
