Do you now understand why there were sudden fuel shortages recently? Reports say the government delayed paying over Sh17 BILLION owed to oil marketers. Sh6.042 billion was already verified but unpaid. Another Sh1.7 billion verified and pending. Around Sh9 billion is still awaiting verification. And this is the part many Kenyans were never told: OMCs cannot access fuel from KPC before paying all taxes upfront. But delayed subsidy payments left many without enough cash to buy fuel. That is how shortages started. Major arrears reportedly include: Vivo Energy - Sh1.47bn TotalEnergies - Sh738m Rubis - Sh535m Now here is the bigger question: Kenyans have been paying the Petroleum Development Levy every single month. So where did that money go? Because you cannot keep collecting billions from the people, then suddenly fail to pay suppliers. At this point, is this money even available?

Amazon Rainforest is bigger than the whole Kenya .. crazy, if you somehow find yourself lost here consider yourself dead.

KRA will soon be able to freeze or even seize M-Pesa and bank accounts before you can fully appeal a tax dispute. This is one of the most dangerous proposals in the Finance Bill 2026, which is being ignored. Right now, Section 42(8)(e) of the Tax Procedures Act protects taxpayers by stopping KRA from issuing agency notices to banks, SACCOs, employers, and M-Pesa over disputed taxes during an appeal. But the Finance Bill 2026 by Mbadi etc seeks to DELETE paragraph (e). If passed, KRA could recover money immediately after issuing a tax assessment, even before your appeal is concluded. Think about how dangerous that is. Your business can be punished first, then told to defend itself later. Imagine waking up and finding your business account emptied over a disputed tax bill or frozen. Suddenly, you are unable to pay Salaries, rent, etc Your Business could stall instantly. And remember, even under the current law, if you lose the appeal, you still eventually pay anyway. So why is the government suddenly desperate to seize first and argue later?
