If you hire me niende kuua mtu, unafaa kunilipa pesa mzuri sana nikimaliza kazi naenda straight airport to start a new life in Curacao....sasa 100K ni nini? Don Julio nne?
When driving at night, you sometimes deliberately let another car go ahead of you so it acts as your "guinea pig". If they hit a bump or a pothole, you know it’s time to slow down
KRA is not playing with MPs.
In 2022, each MP was given 7.5M to buy a car.
- Use it for work and,
- After the term, keep it or sell it.
In 2023, KRA caught wind of it.
And quickly fired a tax demand to Parliament of Ksh 1B.
KRA argued:
- Car grants are gains from employment
- If MPs were not in office, they wouldn’t get them
- Ordinary citizens do not get car grants
- If MPs can keep or sell the cars at will, that is a direct gain
- It must be taxed under PAYE.
Parliament pushed back that:
- Car grants are reimbursements for work transport.
- MPs are not employees
- So this is not taxable income
When KRA persisted, the parliament ran to court.
- The tribunal agreed with KRA arguments and demand 100%.
Parliament saw danger.
In December 2024, MPs enacted the tax law amendment bill.
They quickly changed the income tax law to read.
- MPs car grants are not taxable
- Even if the MP owns the asset
And they backdated it to apply from 2022.
KRA still wanted their money.
Parliament ran to high court. Arguing,
- How can KRA tax something we have already declared non taxable retrospectively?
In 2026, High court sided with KRA demand of 1B.
Now the matter heads to the Court of Appeal.
What do you think:
- Are MPs employees?
- Should their car grants be taxed?
In January I did a land sale agreement worth 2.4M. They signed without reading. Buyer paid 2M and bal. of 400k was to be paid by 15-03-2026. They made time of essence with respect to bal. of purchase price. As expected, buyer defaulted. Seller gets a new buyer offering 3M.
In Kenya, avoid night travel if you can.
Our roads aren’t properly marked. Many stretches have no lighting at all. What looks clear in the day becomes unpredictable at night.
If you must travel, slow down.
60 km/h is safe. 80 km/h should be your absolute maximum.
At night, speed doesn’t just reduce reaction time, it removes your margin for error.
What is the reason why after undertaking the forces training for example police,KDF the individuals do have change in personality?
Kuna kitu wanapewa ama kuambiwa?
Kuna Mzee tuligrow na yeye and immediately huyu boys alijoin forces, he changed completely.
