WapiPay, a Kenyan cross-border payments fintech, has entered the North American market after securing a Money Services Business (MSB) licence from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), part of the company’s global expansion.

The licence allows the company to offer foreign exchange, money transfer, and payment services in Canada through a newly established subsidiary, while also providing regulatory approval to handle virtual currency and digital asset transactions.

Those calling for a cut in the Road Maintenance Levy to lower fuel prices are missing the point. The problem is not the levy itself, but the fact that almost 50% of it has already been securitized. Under Uhuru, the RML was KES 18 per litre, generating KES 86B annually to maintain 21,826 km of paved roads at about KES 3.9M per km.

This administration increased the levy to KES 25 per litre, pushing collections to KES 115B a year. But in February 2025, the government securitized KES 7 of that levy for the next 10 years. Then in November 2025, Cabinet approved securitizing an additional KES 5 without parliamentary approval, prompting MPs to call it a constitutional overreach.

That means out of the KES 115B collected for road maintenance every year, KES 47B now goes to servicing debt, leaving only KES 68B to maintain 25,412 km of paved roads. That translates to KES 2.7M per km today, down sharply from KES 3.9M per km under Uhuru.

Fellow Kenyans, the levy is unlikely to come down because it has already been pledged away for a decade. So as the potholes get bigger, you either work harder, or steal harder, and buy yourself a bigger car.

I am a Utd fan. I live in Africa — Sierra Leone to be specific. Down here, I can barely see a @ManCity fan. If they win the league, I just see a few banter on the media and it never gets to me anyways coz I hardly even see posts from City fans too. I don’t live in England. Arsenal fans are the most annoying I have seen my whole life. So to your concern: City winning the league clearly hurts — like watching any other club win it apart from Man Utd. But I can take it. I’ll wake up the next morning and pretend football never really played all season.

Let City win it! This is a much better outcome for a fan like me, and MANY others

Whoever is close to the County Government in Machakos, needs to walk in there, and ask Governor @Wavinya_Ndeti and the County Assembly this question:

What the heck is wrong with you people?

For, Machakos is the very definition of stupidity and dimwittedness in county government.

Our country has no shortage of dumb people in government. That is for certain.

In Machakos, dumb is the understatement of the year.

This government LIVES ABROAD.

This government appears to take their washroom breaks, ABROAD.

KSH 631 million on travel. Domestic and Foreign.

The Governor's office had 22 trips outside Kenya.

KSH 63 by the Governor. In 2024-2025.

Where to?

5 people travelled to "Livestock and food security initiative conference" in Brazil. Cost? KSH 9.6 million.

2 people travelled to "ICPAK Leadership Summit" in Dubai. Cost? KSH 1.0 million.

4 people travelled to "Training on Strategic Organization Change Management in the Public Sector" in Dubai" Cost? KSH 3.8 million.

1 person travelled to "Leadership and Change Management Course in Dubai". Cost? KSH 1.4 million.

1 person travelled to "Workshop of Women’s Political Leadership Programme in Albania". Yes, Albania. Cost? KSH 0.75 million.

1 person traveled to "Open Governance Workshop in Brazil". Cost? KSH 1 million.

6 people travelled to "Production Facilities" in China". Cost? KSH 4.2 million.

5 people travelled to "Strategic Management Programme" in Dubai. Cost? KSH 6.0 million.

1 person traveled to "Contemporary Public Administration Course" in Dubai". Cost? KSH 1 million.

3 people traveled to "Arab Healthcare Conference" in Dubai. Cost? KSH 2.1 million.

1 person travelled to the UK to attend the "Fire Emergency Response Workshop". Cost? KSH 8.2 million.

1 person - attends a course in the UK on emergency fire response, and the citizens lose KSH 8.2 million.

Because, Zoom doesn't work in Kenya.

We don't have enough time to cover all this stupidity, trust me.

How about the County Assembly?

Leadership training in Singapore. 1 person.

Capacity building in Arusha. 14 people.

Internet Governance Conference in Saudi Arabia. 7 people.

Good and Visionary Governance training in Malaysia. 7 people.

Communication and Technology Conference in Dubai. 5 people.

Another trip for Good and Visionary Training in Singapore. 6 people.

KSH 36 million in foreign travel by the geniuses in the county assembly.

In a county with a 40% poverty rate. Despite KSH 83 billion in money transferred to the County between 2024 and 2024.

KSH 631 million in luxury travel across the globe - for NONSENSE.

Now, consider this:

Machakos County is sitting on KSH 1.1 billion in "Stalled Projects".

KSH 1.1 billion in projects that are stuck. Are not serving citizens.

I attach here, a sample of these projects. Please find your way to the last column, and review why many of the projects have stalled.

"The contractor left the site".

"Abandoned and re-awarded to a new contractor".

"Contractor's nonperformance".

"Non payment".

"Lack of payment".

In other words, KSH 1.1 billion in our money has been paid to contractors that took the money and skipped town. One after the other.

Or, who have actually performed - but have not been paid, and so they abandoned the projects.

KSH 1.1 billion is wasted.

The people who are supposed to be overseeing contractors, @Wavinya_Ndeti and the County Assembly - are nowhere to be seen, because the practically live abroad.

That KSH 631 million could be used to pay the few contractors that have performed.

But the criminal associates of these corrupt politicians are taking the money and walking away.

While the entire government lives in Dubai. On the people's dime.

We don't have enough space here to list all of these stalled projects.

Fellow Kenyans - this is insanity on steroids.

Mackakos County consumes 55% of its budget on salaries alone.

Against the legal maximum of 35%. Under @Wavinya_Ndeti - the county has stolen and diverted BILLIONS from serving citizens, and sent it as additional salaries and benefits to those in government.

What they don't steal in salary, they spend on 100% nonsensical travel.

Take a look at the second attachment.

Since devolution - Machakos County has spent only KSH 800 million on bursaries/education.

That is only 1% of the amount Machakos has received from Kenyans like you and I.

But it has spent KSH 96 million for the Governor's cars.

And KSH 659 million for cars for MCAs and those in government.

And is spending hundreds of millions annually on travel.

This greed, stupidity and perversion of government is the reason Kenyans went to the streets in 2024.

And not a damn thing has changed.

When are we going to say:

Enough is Enough.

We have had it.

When?

TAX UPDATE : INCOME AND EXPENSE VALIDATIONS FOR INCOME TAX RETURNS
By now we are all aware of the significant enhancements to the annual Income Tax Return filing process on iTax, for Tax periods ending Dec 2025 (returns filed from 1st Jan 2026).

The updated auto-populated IT Return now incorporates auto-populated fields and enhanced validation controls aimed at improving accuracy, transparency and compliance.

Key information such as taxpayer details, instalment tax payments, withholding tax credits and advance tax credits will now be prefilled directly from iTax and integrated systems.

The Taxpayers however must download the latest auto-populated Excel return template, as income and expense figures will not be prefilled but will instead be validated upon upload.

A major development is the introduction of strict income and expense validation rules aligned with data from eTIMS / TIMS and withholding tax records.

Declared income will be validated against the higher of total eTIMS/TIMS invoices issued or gross income reflected in non-final withholding tax credits.

Locally incurred expenses will be validated against transmitted eTIMS/TIMS invoices where the buyer PIN has been correctly captured.

Any discrepancies will trigger system-generated validation messages, effectively limiting under-declaration of income and overstatement of expenses.

Claims relating to imported goods will now be validated against the Integrated Customs Management System (iCMS) .

Two additional sheets will soon be added in the Income Tax Return workbook to capture accounting adjustments including accruals, provisions, deferred income, prepayments, and work in progress (WIP) as well as manual or non-eTIMS / TIMS expenses;

Taxpayers utilizing these sections will be required to provide detailed transaction breakdowns, upload supporting documentation where applicable and will be subject to post-filing validations.

These reforms signal a deeper integration of income tax, electronic invoicing, withholding tax and customs systems, marking a decisive shift toward data-driven compliance, enhanced audit trails and real-time tax administration.

Taxpayers going forward have no choice but to strengthen reconciliations and ensure full alignment between their accounting records and KRA system data before filing.
