In 2019, U.S. Supreme Court ruled no international org has absolute immunity, making them open to lawsuits. In 2023 this paper came out "Suing the Bretton Woods Institutions: A Legal & Moral Imperative for the People of Developing Countries". Omtatah has a STRONG case in the US🥲

I told yall it was a literacy issue and everyone wanted to rip my head off. Back in the day, rappers had vast and diverse vocabulary. They used figurative language, and literary devices. And this is not about AAVE, because that’s a dialect. the new cats are vastly illiterate.

Imagine occupying the highest office in the land and slowly becoming more famous for daily online commentary than for the promises that got you elected. The title may still read "President," but the public appears to have conducted its own performance review.

When history is written, it will be difficult to explain how a man with the full machinery of government spent so much time arguing with citizens, critics, and headlines.

From Hustler-in-Chief to Blogger-in-Chief.

Politics can be brutally humbling. 😂

The 2026 Finance Bill is anchored on a debt model that lacks transparency.

Anyone reviewing the budget documents should ask a simple question: why is the net domestic borrowing figure missing? The column that should disclose this critical number has been left blank.

Domestic borrowing is not a minor accounting detail. It determines how much government will borrow from local banks, how much interest taxpayers will pay, and how much credit will be crowded away from businesses and households.

[Willis Evans Otieno @otienowill]

Those purchasing Treasury bonds and other government securities should exercise heightened due diligence.

Kenya’s constitutional and public finance framework is clear: public borrowing is intended primarily for development purposes, and any such borrowing must go through proper parliamentary approval processes.

Nkrumah called them the comprador bourgeoisie.

A class whose wealth is tied to facilitating the movement of African resources outward to foreign corporations, foreign markets, foreign banks.

So this class has always had a material interest in keeping Africa fragmented.

On the 25th June, 2026, parents, siblings, relatives, friends, who are in Nairobi, will proceed to the Kenyan Parliament to demand justice, and lay flowers for the Gen Z who were murdered by the police.

We have invited all Kenyans to join us or stay at home, no school, no work, in remembrance of the children who have been killed by the state in the past two years.

We have delivered a letter to the office of the Inspector General requesting that life and property be protected during the peaceful marches taking place across Kenya on 25th June, 2026.

Today in the @Senate_KE, I will substantiate how public money is being hidden and stolen in plain sight through budget lines labelled “Other Operating Expenses.” OVER 90 BILLION!

If salaries, utilities, travel, maintenance, fuel, training, procurable items, and other expenditures already have specific vote heads, what exactly is hidden under this vague and ever-expanding category?

Even more troubling, the Constitution requires parliamentary approval for all public borrowing. Yet billions are spent under opaque budget lines that escape meaningful scrutiny.

Kenyans deserve transparency, not blank cheques for wastage, mismanagement, and theft. Every shilling collected from taxpayers must be traceable, justified, and accounted for.

The era of hiding public funds behind vague budget descriptions must come to an end. STAY TUNED

The Finance Bill, 2026 was published on 30th April and is now before Parliament and every Kenyan deserves to know what is in it.

The government targets Ksh3.63 trillion in revenue for 2026/27 and a wider budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP in the 2026/27 fiscal year (July-June) up from 4.7% in 2025/26. These are not unreasonable fiscal objectives but the manner in which the burden of achieving them is distributed is a cause for serious concern.

On tax filing timelines, the Bill moves the income tax return deadline to April 30th which is two months earlier than the current June 30th and compresses nil return filing to January 31st. This reduces the time available for audit completion, cash flow planning and compliance. For small businesses and individual traders, this is not administrative reform. It is an additional compliance cost they can ill afford.

On mitumba, the Bill inserts a new Section 12H into the Income Tax Act which deems profit at 5% of customs value payable upfront before goods are released by KRA as a final tax. A trader importing a bale worth Ksh1 million pays Ksh50,000 regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss. I cannot in good conscience describe this as equitable.

 The Bill increases residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%. Absent a serious enforcement framework, this will drive non-compliance rather than revenue. The government must fix the enforcement gap before it increases the rate. One without the other is burden-shifting.

On digital financial services, the Bill removes existing VAT exemptions on money transfers and payment processing. These are the tools of financial inclusion that millions of Kenyans including the very people this government says it wants to reach rely on daily. Making them more expensive will not serve the objective of a broader tax base.

 By including interchange and merchant service fees within the definition of management or professional fees for withholding tax purposes, the Bill introduces a compliance burden into automated banking processes. That burden will be passed on to businesses and ultimately to consumers.

The amendment to Section 24 of the Income Tax Act empowers KRA to deem at least 60% of a company's undistributed income as dividends for tax purposes. This fails to account for legitimate decisions on reinvestment, working capital and business growth. It is a retrogressive measure that sends the wrong signal to the investors Kenya needs.

A 25% excise duty on telephones for cellular and wireless networks is proposed. A phone is not a luxury. It is how Kenyans bank, communicate, conduct business and access government services. Parliament must interrogate this carefully.

On PAYE, Kenyans were led to expect relief and a restructuring of the tax bands to ease the burden on salaried workers. That proposal does not appear in this Bill. That is not a minor omission. An explanation is owed to every employed Kenyan who was waiting for it.

To be fair, the Bill is not without merit. The reduction of corporate tax for non-resident companies from 37.5% to 30% improves our investment climate. The extension of the tax amnesty to cover liabilities up to 31st December 2025 provides a genuine and welcome pathway to compliance. VAT exemptions on electric buses, bicycles, dialysers, animal feed raw materials and PPP infrastructure are sensible measures. The clarity introduced on trust taxation ensuring beneficiaries are not taxed on income already taxed at the trust level and the recognition of gratuity contributions as exempt income are also steps in the right direction.

Be that as it may, we cannot afford a repeat of June 2024. Parliament must discharge its oversight role with the seriousness this moment demands. They should not merely rubber-stamp what the Treasury has placed before it. Every clause must be scrutinised. Every punitive or ambiguous provision must be rejected or amended.

The questions she's asking are so bad. First of all, is she talking about tea produced by Kenya? Which "others" is she talking about? Then she's not disputing the levies. She's disputing the number of levies and the fact that they are not levied as a single tax.

Politicians are tricksters. They deflate resistance by pretending to disagree with the government they sold their souls to. 🚮
