@kemboi89jesse @StandardKenya What wrongs did he commit?

State House budget under President William Ruto has now gone up by over 320% since he took over in September 2022.

The budget has increased from Sh4.4 billion in 2022/23 to the current Sh18.5 billion in 2025/26.

@Cryptov1lle @moneyacademyKE @Cryptov1lle And how are you personally benefiting from these dubious deals?

[Peter Maks @petermaks3]

@MissKwegah1 The greedy folks in government must be benefiting directly from this stupid decision; probably funding to fatten their bellies, at the cot of our health

[Peter Maks @petermaks3]

@sisemi_kilakitu @KijanayaKabras Do you realize that there's a budget for the office of the first lady, funded by taxpayers?

The problem with this Ruto John mbadi government is not just the taxes in the finance bill 2026.

It is the way they are hiding them.

They keep saying here:
“Read the bill yourself.”
But they know very well most Kenyans will not go through 130+ pages of technical legal language.

And even if you try, the Finance Bill alone is not enough.

To fully understand what is happening, you also need the latest revised VAT Act because the bill keeps referring to paragraphs and schedules without explaining what they actually mean.

For example, instead of directly saying:
“We are making electric bikes and related products more expensive,”

they simply write:
“Move item X to after paragraph 157.”
What they don’t tell you is that Paragraph 157 maybe falls under VAT EXEMPT supplies.

That single change matters a lot.
Under ZERO-RATED status:
Manufacturers can reclaim VAT paid on spare parts, raw materials and inputs. That helps keep prices lower.

Under VAT EXEMPT status:
They cannot reclaim that VAT anymore.

Meaning?
Higher manufacturing costs.
Higher prices.
Ordinary Kenyans pay the difference.

And here is the bigger problem:
If you search online for the VAT Act, most copies you will find are old 2013 versions that are outdated. Many sections have since been amended, deleted or added over the years.

So the average Kenyan is expected to decode legal cross-references using outdated documents while the government pretends everything is transparent.

Anyway, if this is the game they want to play, then we shall play it properly.

Over the next 72 hours, I will be sharing the problematic clauses in the Finance Bill together with evidence, screenshots and explanations so ordinary Kenyans can clearly understand what is hidden inside the bill.

If anyone has the latest revised copy of the VAT Act, kindly send it to me.
Thank you.

@Stay_Hidden0 @sholard_mancity Both Sifuja and Nyoro have continuously been talking about the economic hardships in the country, bro. What you've posted isn't correct

@glennotiende @EmmaWaKanjo Most of them opt to live there so that they can conveniently walk to and from work. You can imagine how costly it is to commute from githurai to the industrial area daily. Don't be afraid to think

@dzhavr @MwendaKev @Young_Pharmacie @kijana_misa In Sawe's case, the car is considered an extra income; a tax will be applied on its market value

Landed cost and taxes still take the biggest share of fuel prices in the latest review:

Petrol — Sh107 (landed) + Sh82 (taxes) per litre
Diesel — Sh133 (landed) + Sh74 (taxes) per litre
Kerosene — Sh170 (landed) + Sh68 (taxes) per litre

@NdiziMan @Frankli95653357 @KRACare @kenyan_prince_ It's the other way round. The burden of proof lies on the taxpayer.

How many of the plans that we don't tell people fail too? Why do we hate accountability that much?
