One thing about the just concluded Finance Bill 2026 stakeholder submissions, they were truly rich with simulations on the implications of the proposals.

A 🧵on some simulations that stood out for me.

[Julians Amboko @AmbokoJH]

There's a full page in the Sunday Nation where the National Assembly seeks to explain the thinking behind a number of provisions in Finance Bill 2026.

What stands out for me:

1. The Assembly says that the proposed deletion of Sec42(14,e) regarding agency notices is designed to strengthen enforcement & enhance recoveries from taxpayers who "deliberately" want to avoid paying taxes using appeals

What the Assembly doesn't say is that even presently appeals at the High Court, by mutual consent between parties involved, attract security from the taxpayer depending on the quantum of the assessment issued by the Revenue Authority.

2. The Assembly argues that Finance Bill 2026 doesn't introduce any new tax on mobile phones. What it does is to consolidate existing taxes under a 25.0% excise duty rate.

What the Assembly doesn't say is that the Bill knocks off three crucial incentives that have been in place for locally assembled phones.

a) The first is input recovery since they are being reclassified from Zero Rated to Exempt
b) The second is excise exemption
c) The third is that while the Bill exempts imported finished phones from IDF & RDL, there's no equivalent relief for the imported inputs for locally assembled devices

3. Regarding the 20.0% Withholding Tax on betting & gaming winnings, the National Assembly says that the idea is to protect society against the practise of betting

What the Assembly doesn't say is that it was Finance Act 2025, just a year ago, that overhauled the tax regime on betting &, among other things, scrapped 20.0% Withholding Tax on gross winnings. We are all for protecting society, it is the flip flop around tax we take issue with.

@Safaricom_Care I no longer buy bundles as I am always in WiFi range. Please let me know when you have made the changes. Then I can re-install it.

[D'Mburu @theDMburu]

Hi Safaricon @Safaricom_Care, the upgraded app to access your services is asking me to put off my Safaricon home fibre to use mobile data.

Why should I not use WiFi provided by yourselves to use an app?

What will happen when I travel out of the country?

[Ahmednasir Abdullahi SC @ahmednasirlaw]

I campaigned and voted for him as my Governor. I bought into both his alluring promises and belligerent polemics on how he will change Nairobi for better. He mesmerised me with his booming voice, youthful energy and sheer audacity to revolutionise Nairobi. His agenda was seductive. I bought into it big time. I, like many voters in Nairobi genuinely but naively thought he will herald a new dawn of bright new day... innovation and change were the buzz words. I refused to interrogate his agenda or lift the veil behind the man. I saw his short resume as strength. I even celebrated question marks about his academic background and dismissed it as attempts by the political elites to pull down to the gutters a young and visionary leader. 4 years later, Nairobi under his calamitous tenure is a shithole, the comfortable miasma for rats and rodents of similar genre. Yesterday and without having the common decency to inform the voters of Nairobi, my Governor, timorous and trembling surrendered his mandate to the National Government on a silver platter. I did not see a gun on his head. I saw a happy smiling governor, flashing his signature dimples. He left me bitter, betrayed and stranded. He showed me the middle finger! As his loyal voter, I feel cheap and without a voice in the transaction. I was used and dumped like trash. Why do elected leaders like my Governor treat us as trash once they assume office and start wallowing in the luxury of power and the attendant filthy wealth that easily comes with public office? What remedy do the voters have when their Governor without consultation and consent tranfers his executive powers to a stranger in the name of National Government? How can executive abdication and change of power be a secret elopement between State House and City Hall? And when will STUPID voters like me know a snake oil salesman from a distance and refuse to upgrade him to something he can never be? For all our chaos and problems, the stupid charlatans we elect to offices in Kenya, the buck stops with a STUPID voter like me. I'm ashamed of SOME of the choices I habitually make when I vote on polling day!

@KeNHAKenya Imagine all these competent people going to inspect beautification on a road and the same authority has put up killer bumps on Waiyaki way without warning AND without painting the bumps.

How heartless can you individually and corporately be?

[D'Mburu @theDMburu]

@DJKrowbar Pole sana Krowbar.
May the Lord comfort you and you family during this difficult time.

[D'Mburu @theDMburu]

@DJKrowbar Hi bro, this has always been the case.
Their argument was weaker when the lines were not visible. When the likes are clear, the conversation changes. That junction used to be a nightmare. And it has slowly morphed back to the grilldlock.

[D'Mburu @theDMburu]

Kenyan school uniform should be reduced to 3 colours. White, blue and pink WITHOUT logos.

We need to reduce stress on parents.

@citizentvkenya.

[D'Mburu @theDMburu]

@Paul_Muite @KeNHAKenya Bwana SC, the corners at this particular interchange are sharp plus the road is very narrow and it shows very poor design.
Plus this place should have been done with concrete like the three lanes from Gitaru to the junction to Maai mahiu.

[D'Mburu @theDMburu]

@KEBS_ke, you have a missed call here.
Time for you to explain all those overseas trips you go for benchmarking.

A new report claims Nestlé is selling baby food with added sugar in Africa, while its equivalent products in Europe contain none.

Nestlé has denied wrongdoing regarding the allegations.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

"My name's Arthur. I'm 72. I work at Second Chance Thrift Store on Maple Street. Been pricing donated clothes and organizing shelves for 9 years. Most people drop off bags without looking at me. I'm just the old man sorting through their leftovers.

But I notice everything.
Like the boy who came in last November, shivering in a torn hoodie. Couldn't be more than fourteen. He touched a winter coat on the rack, navy blue, barely worn, then checked the price tag. $12. His shoulders sagged.

He walked to the counter with a thin jacket instead. $3.
"That coat would fit you better," I said, nodding toward the navy one.
"Can't afford it," he mumbled.

After he left, I couldn't stop thinking about him. Minnesota winter was coming. That thin jacket wouldn't cut it.

Next week, he came back. Headed straight for the navy coat, touched it like it was gold, then walked away. This happened three more times.

Finally, I pulled the coat off the rack. Took it to the back room. Put a "SOLD" tag on it.
When he came in the following Tuesday, I was waiting. "Hey, kid. Someone bought this coat but never picked it up. Store policy, after two weeks, we have to discount it." I handed it to him. "It's $3 now."
His eyes went wide. "That's not... you're lying."
"You calling me a liar?" I said, pretending to be offended.

He bought it. His hands shook as he counted three dollar bills. Put it on right there in the store, zipped it up, and his whole face changed. Like he'd found armor.
"Thank you," he whispered.

I did that seventeen more times that winter. A single mom needing work shoes. An immigrant family needing blankets. A homeless woman needing socks. I'd move items to the back, mark them down, create "store policies" that didn't exist.

Then a customer caught me. Watched me do it.
Instead of reporting me, she donated $100. "For your store policies," she said with a knowing smile.
Word spread quietly. Regular customers started funding my "pricing errors." They'd buy $50 gift cards and leave them at the register. "For whoever needs it."

Last week, a young man walked in wearing that navy coat. But he wasn't fourteen anymore. He was in his twenties, college sweatshirt underneath.

"You're Arthur, right?" he said. "You gave me this coat seven years ago. Told me it was store policy." He smiled. "I knew you were lying. But you let me keep my pride."
He handed me an envelope. Inside was $500.

"I'm a social worker now," he said. "I help homeless youth. Because someone showed me that kindness doesn't have to be humiliating. It can look like a store policy."

I'm 72. I price used clothes that smell like other people's lives.

But I learned this, Dignity matters more than charity.
Help people without making them feel small.
Lie about the price. Bend the rules. Make up policies.
Let them walk out with their head up.
That's what changes lives."

Let this story reach more hearts....

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

RUTO’S REVERSAL OF THE  LOGGING BAN IS UNACCEPTABLE, ILLOGICAL AND IMMORAL

The decision by  William Ruto and his Kenya Kwanza administration to lift the logging ban on Kenya’s forests is a betrayal of logic, science, and the nation’s own environmental commitments.

For a country that has pledged to plant 15 billion trees by 2032 and poured billions of shillings into that ambition, allowing loggers back into our forests reeks of recklessness, short-sightedness and a scheme to hoodwink Kenyans.
