@nziokamul1 @FaithfulnessJS So the 1950s emergency was just a cover up to exterminate people. I read they use to put hot eggs and red pepper in women's vagina and petrol and soil in men anus and stir it using sticks ?
One of the biggest blunders by African revolutionary leaders was not taking full ownership of their media and education systems. They never properly taught their people who the true enemies were all because they feared being labeled racists.
@nxt888 The logical destination of my point is that slavery was a world wide system at the time acceptable to most, and most participated in it. Singling one part of that trade out to be to blame makes no sense logically or morally.
TURKANA RESISTANCE TO THE BRITISH RULE By Bruno Arochang'imoe The Turkana’s contribution to our country's independence is immeasurable and unequalled, but unfortunately, this has never been recognized. Who will talk about this?
Should the taxpayer still bear the burden of proof in instances where a tax dispute with the Revenue Authority is based in pre-populated & third party data? In my submission before the National Assembly's Finance & Planning Committee on behalf of the Tax Research Centre at @StrathU, I argue that Finance Bill 2026's proposals seeking to anchor Incomes & Expenses Validation in law will be incomplete if they do not include a proposal for the the Revenue Authority being saddled with the burden of proof in such instances. Here's why: · Finance Bill 2026 proposes to amend Sec75 of the Tax Procedures Act to provide that the Revenue Authority may use technology to pre-populate tax returns on behalf of a person required to submit or lodge a tax return · Finance Bill 2026 further proposes that a person required to submit or lodge a tax return may rely on pre-populated return generated by the Revenue Authority to file their return · Finance Bill 2026 proposes to amend Sec112 to provide that the Cabinet Secretary of the National Treasury may make Regulations for the procedure for the submission or lodging of returns based on pre-populated tax returns generated by the Revenue Authority Here's where the problem is: · In all this, Sec56(1) which provides that "In any proceedings, the burden shall be on the taxpayer to prove that a tax decision is incorrect" remains unchanged · Sec56(1) is predicated on the fact that Kenya has been running on a self-assessment based regime & the data upon which tax disputes emerges was held by the taxpayer · With Incomes & Expenses Validation & the onset of a Dual Assessment regime in Kenya, taxpayers are now exposed not just to errors of judgement & data on their part, but also errors of technology & transmission which are out of their control · Can we really still have the burden of proof lying exclusively with the taxpayer in an environment where tax compliance has shifted from a function of record keeping to one where system integration reliability is now a key factor?
@georgenjoroge_ @iamkipro @KeNHAKenya Bana what are these trash roads and sidewalks we have on the main highway of our capital city?! Incompetence pro max
Remembering the Legacy of Jaramogi: Not yet Uhuru by Jaramogi Oginga Odinga This book is a treasure trove of insights and foresights, that can awaken us from our political slumber. It reveals the struggles and hopes of a visionary leader, who never gave up on the dream of Uhuru.
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it. Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying. Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence." Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter." Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter. They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created. One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility." Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies. That's the metered intelligence business model. And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
