Kiambu County has shown KRA dust.
KRA audited the county.
And found the county was collecting serious money from:
- Parking fees
- Business licenses
- Market fees
- Renting stalls
- Renting stadia
- And other county fees
Then KRA asked:
- Where is our VAT?
- If you charge 10,000 for stalls
- You should have added 16% VAT
So Kiamburians should have paid: 11,600
And the extra 1,600 goes to KRA.
But Kiambu did not charge VAT. So KRA became dramatic and said:
- No problem. You'll give us that VAT from your own county coffers.
It is at that moment that, Gov Wamatangi knew hii si mchezo.
He ran to court.
He argued:
- The county is not a business entity.
- It is a government unit performing public functions
- It does not operate for profit
- The county fees charged are already a form of tax
- Charging VAT on them is double taxation
- It is illegal
The court agreed.
And KRA’s VAT demand was set aside.
This is a big precedent.
It means:
- County services should not be inflated by VAT.
- Public services are not businesses to charge 16% VAT.
@SteveLyoba2025@mutindah What cost? The pump prices was calculated on landed cost at the time, was the fuel re-landed again? They got a 17 bob margin on this current calculation.

The High Court has ruled that second-hand car dealers can’t use "As is where is" to avoid responsibility if they give false information about a car’s condition.
This means they can be held accountable for misleading buyers

2. Treasury: 5b extra allocated to State Hse, Office of DP & Office of Prime CS for entertainment & travel.
I forget the definition of witchcraft these days...
🚨This trophy and this competition has to be prioritized by the club and Ruben Amorim, we have to treat every game as finale as it is our only way back to Champions League football for next season.
Yes we can be back at Europa League by winning FA Cup, but just by being on CHL our revenue will increase for 20% next season for around £80m and that can go into transfers and rebuilding the squad this summer.
From all teams left in the competition only Tottenham and maybe Galatasaray look more dangerous but come on guys, it’s only Tottenham. We should be winning this trophy and get back in the CHL. #MUFC
This is a very important week in Kenyan politics. Ni kama mtu amesema "Niko Kadi" Ni either watu wajiunge wamlambishe plus na joker ama amalize game. We wait and watch but uphold our truths nonetheless. Time remains the only bearer of truth
The US economy is roughly 9X size of the UK economy.
@doge is already saving $1 billion a day by cutting unnecessary expenditure.
Pro rata the UK could save £90 million a day if we did similar.
That’s £32 billion a year!
Stop raising taxes and start cutting waste.
