[CPA Wachira Joseph @WashiraX]

We have a crisis.

For the last four months. June, July, August and now September. iTax, the primary system for filing returns and collecting Kenyan taxes, has experienced downtimes of monumental proportions.

As a result, taxpayers have been unable to file returns on time, or have had to wait until the system wakes up before they can file.

This has caused immense damages to many. Accountants for example have confessed that they no longer have a life. They sleep on the iTax portal. Refreshing. All night.

Then, a taxpayer fails to file on time because iTax is down. iTax later wakes up. The taxpayer files.

Then KRA religiously airdrops a late filing penalty into the taxpayer's account and demands payment.

This has elicited holy anger against KRA.

Taxpayers are asking, why should I be penalised for failing to use a system that was not functioning?

And this is a justified question.

In my legally informed view, no taxpayer should be penalized for KRA's mistake.

The Tax Procedures Act actually provides a mechanism for dealing with penalties and interest arising from KRA's system failures.

Section 89(5A) allows CS John Mbadi, on the recommendation of KRA, to waive penalties or interest where they arose from, among other things, an error generated by an electronic tax system, a delay in updating the system or a malfunction of KRA system.

KRA has previously waived penalties after iTax downtimes prevented taxpayers from filing on time. In July 2025, KRA announced that penalties and interest arising from the affected filing period would be waived.

So here is my proposal.

- As KRA works to fix and stabilise iTax & eTIMS, it should publicly assure taxpayers that penalties arising directly from its system failures shall be waived.

Then go ahead and actually remove those penalties from taxpayers' accounts.

It would be deeply immoral for KRA to profit from its own system failures.

Is this too much to ask?

We need a complete overhaul of iTax

[Tuchel @Officially_Kriz]

Aliko Dangote, on why he didn't use project financing from the International Banks for the Refinery.

He says those international banks would have shut it down.

He borrowed $5.5 billion and paid a lot of interest due to delays in the project. They didn't do anything for five years.

[Janet Machuka @janetmachuka_]

"I don't want to use AI because I want my work to be authentic."

Fair.

But authenticity isn't about whether AI touched the work.

It's about whether you actually have something of your own in it.

[SocialPilot @socialpilot_co]

@janetmachuka_ Readers rarely notice the tooling, they notice whether someone actually meant it, which is a much higher bar and a far more useful one to aim at.

[Current Wave Builders @CurrentWaveB]

At Current Wave Builders, water supply is engineered in from the start, not patched in after handover. It's the difference between a building that runs itself and one that runs into problems.

[Current Wave Builders @CurrentWaveB]

Good design isn't just "connect a tank and pump." It's borehole capacity matched to demand, sized underground and overhead storage, backup pumping, separate hot/cold lines, and wastewater systems that don't back up under full occupancy.

[Current Wave Builders @CurrentWaveB]

Tenants don't complain about architecture. They complain about no water in the shower, low pressure on the top floor, or a dry tank every dry season.

Water scarcity = tenant turnover = vacant units = dead ROI.

[Current Wave Builders @CurrentWaveB]

A building can look perfect on paper and still fail as an investment — if the water supply wasn't designed properly.

Here's why water systems are one of the most underrated ROI factors in construction. 🧵

[Engineer Muturi @victorkiiru2]

A social soul can't be retrofitted. It has to be baked into the architecture from day one. Design for people first — the returns follow.

[Engineer Muturi @victorkiiru2]

The Kenyan commercial developments trap: assuming capital + a sleek facade is enough.

The real question isn't "how do I maximize built floor area?"

It's "why do the floors above level 2 sit empty?"

🧵

[Engineer Muturi @victorkiiru2]

True yield sits at the intersection of spatial economics and architectural intent. Treat the public realm as a cashflow engine, not lost floor area — and the building becomes a destination, not just a static plot.
