Kenyans now need to earn Sh1.8 million per year per person to eliminate poverty, compared with the current Sh285,000.
At the current growth rate, it could take 103 years, from 2026 to 2129, to reach this level.
Nilienda interview vile my turn ilifika nikaaingia kwa panel ya watu 8.i was confused sikujua niwasalimie au ninyamaze nijikalishe kwa kiti. Mimi huyoo nikaamua kuketi..hiyo kiti ilikua ile ya kufinya hapo kwa mkono alafu inapanda juu au inateremka. Mimi huyoo nikafinya coz ilikua imeteremka chini sana na nilikua mfupi. Aki kiti ilipanda hadi juu interviewers wakaanza kuniangalilia chini. Yani nilipanda juu hadi nikapita meza.. Nikafınya unirudishe chini kiti nayo ikanipeleka hadi nikapotelea chini ya meza.. All this time naangaliwa tu... I had to stand up and leave without saying a word.
Nairobi sirudi acha tu nikae Othaya.
Having an A+ bookkeeper costs more. But not more than KRA.
If you can hire one full time, even better.
If you cannot, outsource.
A good bookkeeper is non negotiable.
You can have a perfectly valid eTIMS invoice and still have KRA reject it.
Why?
Because KRA can ask: Show me the money trail.
This is extremely critical test that KRA applies.
Example.
You have an eTIMS invoice for KSh 1 million from your Supplier.
KRA can ask: Did you actually pay for these goods?
If you paid the supplier, show the bank or M-Pesa payment evidence.
If the supplier gave you credit, shiw the credit agreement or payment terms and record the KSh 1 million as a debt in your books.
If your good buddy paid the supplier directly for you, show:
• Proof that your buddy paid the supplier
• Your agreement with your buddy
• The repayment terms
• The amount recorded as a liability to your buddy
So, here's how you protect yourself.
For every business purchase, make sure these four things tell the same story.
eTIMS invoice → Proof of payment → Agreement/terms → Accounting records.
If you bought on credit, your books should show that you owe the supplier.
If someone paid on your behalf, your books should show that you owe that person.
If you paid directly, your bank or M-Pesa should show the payment.
Don't wait for a KRA audit to start assembling this evidence.
Build the evidence when you make the purchase.
That way, when KRA asks, “Prove this expense,” you don't start looking for documents. You simply open the file.
That's what good bookkeeping is.
