Imara steel did not come to play with KRA. There is a company called Imara steel. They cook metals to make mabati in Industrial Area, Nairobi. In 2022, as they were busy cooking metals, KRA was busy cooking their tax bill at Times Tower. When KRA was done, what came out was 3.9B. This bill covered 5 years. - 2015, 2016, 2017,2018, 2019 Next morning, KRA airdropped the bill to Imara steel email. When the director arrived at the office, the accountant stormed in. Akamsalimia. Then served him the bill even before chai. The director looked at the numbers. He could not believe it. He thought his magnifying glasses were magnifying the numbers. He removed them. He saw the same mad numbers live live. • 3.9B. He went nuts. • Lesson 1: Never allow your accountant into your office before the tea person. Director ordered the accountant to turn the fans on. There is no electricity. He is now worked up proper. The accountant sneaked out. And immediately embarked on a fault finding mission. He came back with disturbing findings: 1. KRA was out of time for 2015 and 2016. Those years were beyond the 5 year statutory audit limit. Unless there is fraud. KRA had shown no fraud. 2. KRA had assumed 23% profit margins. Figures Imara had never achieved. Wakasema baas. This is it. They wrote an objection / protest letter to KRA. Explained everything. And demonstrated they had paid taxes to the last cent. KRA could not hear any of it. They only wanted 3.9B. In June 2022, KRA rejected the objection. And confirmed Imara must pay the 3.9B. All this time, the accountant is not sleeping nor eating. Amekanyanga tu wire. Then something interesting happened. KRA sent the rejection letter to the wrong email. And never realized. So 60 days passed. No response is received from KRA. Imara knew the law. If KRA does not respond within 60 days, your protest is deemed accepted. They knew they had won. Director called the party. Six months later, in Dec 2022, KRA came back with threats. We want the 3.9B. Pay or we freeze your bank accounts. Imara responded: Guys, but you accepted our objection. KRA said: Noo. We rejected it and emailed you. Here is the proof. Pay us up ASAP. Imara looked at it and said: Guys, that is not our email. Everyone at Times tower got shocked. How did that happen? KRA said: OK the email was wrong. But tax is yours. Lipa. As KRA is doing all this, they are unaware of two dangerous sentences in Kenyan tax law. They read: • KRA cannot audit past 5 years without proving fraud • KRA must respond to objections within 60 days Imara ran to court. - Argued it cannot pay tax on rejection notices served out of time. The tax appeal tribunal agreed the rejection letter was communicated to Imara out of time. But still asked Imara to bring fresh evidence to dispute the tax. Later the Tribunal ruled the evidence was not enough. • Imara was ordered to pay 3.9B. KRA retreated to Times Towers celebrating. Imara ran straight to the high court. - It argued that it cannot pay tax out of rejection notices served to them out of time. The judge looked at the case. Then invoked the 2 dangerous sentences. You remember them? - No audits beyond 5 years without fraud - No rejection after 60 days The judge sided with Imara. - Imara was ordered to pay nothing. - And KRA was ordered to pay legal costs to Imara. Case closed. Lesson 2. • Everyone needs an accountant trained kukanyanga wire. • KRA cannot audit beyond 5 years without proving fraud. • If KRA misses the 60 days, call the party. You have won.

Court has warned KRA to go for real thieves, not NIL filers. There is a company called Kapwell Enterprises Limited. Their business is not complicated. They sell cargo clearing and forwarding services. When they started, they had no one to show them mashimo. They only had hope and determination. They hit the road. 2013, no deal. 2014, zero deal. 2015, no nothing. Kazi ni kufile tu NIL returns. As the director was busy tarmacking and accumulating tiny stones under his shoe heels, Some crooks had stolen & were busy importing goods using Kapwell’s KRA PIN. In 2018, Kapwell has known mashimo. They are minting real money. KRA notices. They decided to audit. Checking their internal customs system, they discovered that Kapwell’s PIN had imported goods worth 25M in 2013 and 2014. Yet they had filed NIL returns faithfully. KRA went mad. They took the 25M, added a fictitious 20% profit margin, computed income tax, VAT, penalties and interest, and slapped Kapwell with a tax bill of 11M. Next morning at 3am, the director akagurumuka. He reached for his phone to check time. Saw an email notification. Hoping it was a client, he opened it. Bahati mbaya, it was KRA. Delivering the bill. Sleep ended instant. • Lesson 1: usiku wacha simu sitting room. At dawn, without even taking tea, he rushed to KRA to report a system error. Akaambiwa ndugu keti. He was shown mad numbers on the screen. He swore he had never imported such goods. KRA wakamwabia hii utalipa. He ran to the police and reported a case of identity theft. Got an OB number. Took it back to KRA and asked them to investigate who had used his company PIN. He even gave them a list of competitors he suspected. He then served KRA all of his bank statements. They were all zeros for those years. But KRA could not hear any of it. As KRA is doing all this, it is unaware of one dangerous sentence chilling quietly in Kenyan tax law. It reads: • KRA SHALL make inquiries into all tax issues raised by a taxpayer. Make sure to underline the word SHALL. MANDATORY. KRA did not investigate. Their position was: • PIN ni yako. 11M ni yako. Lipa. Frustrated, he ran to court. The Tribunal asked KRA: Where is your investigation report? - KRA said hakuna. Tribunal invoked the one dangerous sentence. You still remember it? • KRA SHALL make inquiries. Tribunal ruled that the word SHALL is MANDATORY. Tribunal concluded Kapwell was a victim of identity theft. 11M tax was set aside. You would think that is the end. Noo. KRA retreated to Times Tower swearing: 11M haiwezi enda hivo. Aje? They appealed to the High Court. In court, Kapwell was asked: Why don’t you want to pay tax under your PIN ndugu? He responded: My lord, I have no problem paying taxes. But not for goods I never bought, never touched, and never sold. The good judge asked him: What do you mean? He responded: My Lord, if you owe your landlord 100K. You take the 100k bundle to his office and hand it to him. As he starts counting, a thief storms in, orders everyone down, and in the confusion the landlord throws the money back at you. The thief grabs it and disappears. Have you paid rent or not? The court went silent. The judge asked him: Kapwell what are you saying? He replied: My Lord, who should the landlord pursue for the money? You the tenant or the thief? Judge removed his spectacles. Paused. Then sided with Kapwell. The 11M tax was set aside. KRA wakaambiwa waende watafute wezi wawalipe. Case closed. Lesson 2. • KRA cannot tax a victim of identity theft. • KRA must go for the real beneficiary thief.

If you are a Kenyan, You must have seen a sustained narrative claiming that your president and his deputy are at loggerheads. They are NOT. You must have heard that the president is persecuting his deputy just the same way the former president was at loggerheads with his deputy. They were not. Here is the thing, The system keeps you in a sustained political debate. This artificial conundrum is designed to distract you and vex your spirits. This debate is meant to sow divisions among citizens. The system thrives in confusion, division and distraction. Listen, The social stratum has the wealthy, the middle class and the poor. The poor are busy looking for survival, they have little time for political correctness. The wealthy are busy looking after their wealth by funding politicians to write legislation that will continue making them wealthier. The crux of the matter is in the middle class where you and I sit. These are the pawns of the game. They are educated but are idiots. They are the ones who go to the queue for voting.  (The poor don't vote unless induced by money). The middle class are the noise decibels. They are the donkeys that work hard to feed the rich. They are heavily taxed. They are the fools thrown into a heated circus to hate each other, create divisions and distract themselves. They claim to be learned but cannot decipher the political con game. The middle class are the ones with big televisions, smartphones and computers. It is here the rich pay the media to sow seeds of confusion and distraction. It is only a foolish Kenyan who thinks the political crooks from both ends of the political divide don't meet privately to laugh at how they have divided the masses. It is only a foolish citizen who thinks politicians serve them. They don't and will never. Politicians serve • The World Bank • World Economic Forum • IMF • USAID • UKAID • America • Britain Refuse to be drawn into imaginary conflicts. Focus on your goals. Mobilize your energies. Politicians won't save you. They are part of the problem. #DrainTheSwamp

Kiambu County has shown KRA dust. KRA audited the county. And found the county was collecting serious money from: - Parking fees - Business licenses - Market fees - Renting stalls - Renting stadia - And other county fees Then KRA asked: - Where is our VAT? - If you charge 10,000 for stalls - You should have added 16% VAT So Kiamburians should have paid: 11,600 And the extra 1,600 goes to KRA. But Kiambu did not charge VAT. So KRA became dramatic and said: - No problem. You'll give us that VAT from your own county coffers. It is at that moment that, Gov Wamatangi knew hii si mchezo. He ran to court. He argued: - The county is not a business entity. - It is a government unit performing public functions - It does not operate for profit - The county fees charged are already a form of tax - Charging VAT on them is double taxation - It is illegal The court agreed. And KRA’s VAT demand was set aside. This is a big precedent. It means: - County services should not be inflated by VAT. - Public services are not businesses to charge 16% VAT.

Auditor-General Nancy Gathungu says Swiss firm Travizory failed to remit Sh927 million from Kenya’s e-visa fees. The audit reveals the funds were not accounted for after the contract ended.

KRA plans to make it mandatory for all businesses, even small traders, to register for VAT. This means businesses and small traders will add 16% tax, which will make prices of goods go up.

Name a president who never stopped campaigning since he got elected in office, name a single month since 2022 where he wasn't on top of a vehicle campaigning! Name any president who shattered the purchasing power of citizens through statutory deductions only for corruption scandals to follow the ministries handling those moneys, Name a president who bought the legislature to pass punitive bills, Name any president who oversaw the levels of exporting Kenyans to die abroad that we are witnessing, Name a president who loves to be worshipped, who wants to be the center of everything including rendering his cabinet impotent by launching everything instead of delegating to cut the costs, Name a president whose statehouse budget was 17B more than several ministries combined,Name a president who screwed up the University education and made it unaffordable to so many, Name a president who spend billions to manage politics through handouts the way he does nonstop,Name a president who oversaw the killings and levels of abduction we see in this regime especially of harmless GenZs (other president killed mature critics). And so many others.
