On Tax Procedures Act Adjustments, Integration with KRA's system may become mandatory for certain taxpayers, enhancing real-time document submission and compliance monitoring. This will be interesting to see, given how haphazard new changes have been implemented.

Kenya, my beautiful country with so much potential, viewed philosophically, from the kaleidoscope of a jilted hustler, remains a series of slave camps, where we, the citizens – tax livestock – labor under the chains of illusion in the service of their masters, who use the Bible to berate us and in darkness, mock and laugh at our stupidity.
Frank Herbert in his book, Dune, once said that all governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Kenyan leadership is full of pathological, crude, greedy, incompetent, and stupid personalities that are led and guided by nothing else but their savage and unbridled carnal desires.
Frédéric Bastiat once famously said that when plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men and women in a society, over time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it. This is what Kenya Kwanza has done, without shame or remorse with its officials vomiting on us, showing off the fruits of their plunder as we drown in floods that are a mockery to our systems and infrastructure.

Winston S. Churchill contended that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself by the handle. This is exactly what President Ruto is doing and the gullibility of Kenyans is not only nauseating but sickening because we have refused to reason and think and hold him accountable. We reason with our stomachs and cry with our brains and Ruto knows this and he takes advantage of it.
If Kenyans were really to be convinced of the illegitimacy of this government of Ruto, if we are to be convinced that the government is nothing more nor less than a bandit gang writ large, a plot of thieves who practice witchcraft to mislead the public, THEN the government would soon collapse to take on no more status or breadth of existence than another Mafia gang.
One thing is clear: The Creators of the 2010 CONSTITUTION never intended KENYA to be a country, where its citizens would pay nearly half of everything they earn to the government. The Constitution gives us the power to say enough is enough. If you are with me, say Amen. The Finance Bill 2024 should not see the light of Day. The Bill should face cruel death now or we riot and burn the country because we have reached the end of our resilience to keep suffering under the guise of democracy.
Democracy in Kenya is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. The majority in Kenya are hungry, greedy, corrupt, and suffer from the syndrome of our person. The minority are the only ones that have kept the country from dissolving into oblivion at the hands of unprecedented theft.
Have you read the Finance Bill 2024? I bet not. Let me tell you the issues that matter to us as ordinary Kenyans such as cars, content creation, and healthcare have been hit hard and deep, leaving us with no room to breathe other than to revolt. The following issues;
- Motor Vehicle Tax
- Digital Economy
- Medical & Housing
- Value Added Tax VAT
- Excise Duty takes center stage with the Finance Bill 2024 and it is unfortunate because the bill does not address the concerns and needs of us, the ordinary people. Instead, it paints a target on our backs and makes us victims of an evil, incompetent, and greedy administration that lacks empathy, reason, and a fair understanding of the business ecosystem.
Imagine a government that imposes the maximum tax on bread, a staple food for everyone, and exempts helicopters and their parts. A government that taxes maximumly a sector that is creating jobs for millions of youth and forgives the same taxes for those importing helicopters. Isn’t this government evil, greedy, incompetent, and above all, repugnant?
