In the upcoming financial year, govt expects my unpaid taxes to be paid. Its estimates are akin to HELB’s estimates of loan recoveries. They are counting eggs not hatched. They are basing amounts on turnover and bank statements kumbe mtu ni agent na chama chairperson, yake ni commission tu. On excise duty, the implied price increases will lead to lower cost substitutes that have no tax or low tax opportunity. On Thugge, Njoroge asha mpasha hiyo dolla pond is not going to capture idle dollars as there are none. Dollar ziko ni za biashara mostly inteneshnel biz.
When they realize jamaa wa suti hana pesa it will be too late, after expending most resources and eating the advance salary and bank overdraft, it will kaboom.
Whether they hit or miss their targets, hio ni stress ya Ruto. Mimi kama mkulima mdogo that’s literally none of my business.
If Kenya was a meritocracy, mashida mingi tungezionea viusasa. Like the OP. A very brilliant chap but uawezi pewa nafasi pale Treasury coz probably hajui mtu. Kuna wakenya wengi wenye akili lakini they can’t contribute to the nation’s wellbeing juu ya cronyism and nepotism. We now have Aisha Jumwa and Echesa in govt na hao wako nje.
