The long awaited budget day is here

Rotich expected to present the budget today.

Already we know that the estimate is 3 trillion. And we know that the budget deficit is 607 billion.

What we are curious to hear is the sources of revenue.

Will VAT be increased from 16%- 18%?

GOK has been unable to catch tax cheats in a big as they thought they would.

Money will most likely have to come from the existing tax payers.

So, if you’re an existing tax payer better tune to a radio or TV at 3pm to hear first hand how utachunishwa sukuma to finance this ambitious. budget.

watu peasants kama sisi tutakamuliwo styro gani

As it is businesses are struggling, disposable income is dwindling day by day. Wakiongeza vat few businesses will survive and the deficit will continue to grow year after year.

Mimi nataka VAT ifike 35% Ndio hii mentality ya kuvote Mtu wetu itoke. It’s time for us to pay for this handout we get from politicians.
Coming election we will be voting with our brains not with our stomachs.

Just denounce your words. Life will be unbearable, crime rates will spike upwards, chaos will erupt. It will be too dangerous for all of us out here.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. KRA has been unable to meet revenue collection targets because of evasion, and more importantly, decreased consumption. If they yet again increase taxes, why would they expect us to not amend our habits accordingly?

Okay. Last year the budget was 5 trillion. Now 3 trillion?
About tax evasion, yeah. Actually, I know of some few tax evaders and they have evaded excess of over 300 million combined. I have no idea on how the government will do to force people to pay tax.

We have a live baboon right here. Can you trust this brain to do the maths to take you to the moon on a rocket?

Myopic Rotich backed by even “myopicer” Konyagi you can expect a thorough shafting.
And after that, all mps will “hail the good budget”… Then after 4 months, as he has done since 2013,he will bring a supplementary budget, undoing his first budget priorities and redirecting them to recurrent expenditure.

We know him. Ni kudoz tu hapo state house watu wakilia. Ukiuliza, unatishwa na ule mkisii fuuuuupi amenona round…

Aish, polepole sbonza. We ain’t competing, tunawekana sawa si matusi.

Inaitwa Optimal Taxation. Any Increase will result to decreased consumption or illegitimate alternatives.
Wamefika hapo na pombe na sigara. Hii ndio nangoja kuona kama itaongezwa haha

Naona umesoma econ pia…asante kwa kunikumbusha terminology!

Shida yetu ni kwamba tunajipima na useless consumption; middle class afadhali ikope credit card/Tala/Fuliza iende kutisha maslay Kiza. KBL wataendelea kukamua watu hata RRP ikifika 250; na kwa wale hawana option, ngojautaskia kumi kumi and the like zimewashika tena.

Mimi naskia kwenda parliament and yell “Lubbiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiish”

Kenyans are so tired of this administration the interest in pivotal moments has waned, guys dont care what Rotich or his Boss Gatheca say, tunajua tu ni lip service. 2022 ifike tutoe hizi zebu

Capital gains tax increased from 5%- 12%

Witholding tax introduced on cleaning services, outside catering, sales promotion

Konyagi will bring a supplementary budget later this year. nothing will happen.

Betting excise duty introduced at 10% of the stake

Cigarettes wines and spirits 15% excise duty increase. Sigara increases by 8 Bob. 750ml mzinga increases by 24 bob

Which means at the shop price is going up by 200 if not more… wanywaji hatuna bahati
