Eastleigh is not laughing with KRA. Over the weekend, I visited my woria friend in Eastleigh. He owed me camel meat. He told me: Okuyu, kuja nikupeleke bahali yake. He took me to a camel meat joint. He told me to order. I asked the waiter: mko na nini? He said: rafiki iko ngamia tatu. Ngamia imekaangwa, ngamia blain, na ngami... Before he finished, I asked: Hiyo blain iko na nini? He said: Imechemshwa na chumvi. I told him, niletee ngamia choma. Suddenly, every head turned to our table. My woria friend quickly took charge. Ordered 3 plates. 2 Blain and 1 imekaangwa. I have no clue how those chefs do it. But it was the sweetest and softest meat I have eaten this year. My friend, if you have never eaten camel in isirii, I don't even know why I am talking to you. • Lesson 1: Those chefs should be arrested. Unaweza malizia school fees ya watoto hapo. As we stood to leave, I see the one and only Eastleigh mall. Immediately I remember what they did to KRA. When the mall was constructed. It cost 96 million. They also said the name Eastleigh mall is a brand. They gave it a brand value of 10% of the building cost. And called it goodwill. A whopping 9 million shillings. Total cost = 104 million. That is what they reported to KRA in their 2008 tax return. They then divided this cost over 13 years. The period to fully deduct building costs from tax. 8M per year. All legal. From 2008 to 2017, Eastleigh mall and KRA are good buddies. They even say cheers while taking coffee together. Then one morning in 2017, KRA arrives at Times Tower and finds a letter from Eastleigh Mall. It reads: • Hello KRA. You see that 104M we told you. We made a mistake. It's actually 200 million. We now have a fresh valuation report. We want to amend our returns from 2008. Tutoe 104 Million bahali yake tuweke 200 Million. KRA officer thought his spectacles had been hacked. He removed them. Saw the same numbers live. KRA asked, what do you mean? They responded: The amendment will help us deduct higher depreciation and lower our taxes. KRA rejected it instantly. It didn't end there. KRA immediately smelled a tax evasion scheme. They deployed spies to investigate Eastleigh mall. The spies seized their most critical documents. The most important being management accounts. The spies returned with a very disturbing report. There were huge understatements between the actual income and what had been declared. Angrily, KRA slapped the mall with a tax demand of 386M. The mall protested. They wrote an objection letter to KRA showing they had paid all taxes and that management accounts were just internal projections. They sat and waited for a reply. Clock started ticking. At times tower, KRA is sipping chai undecided whether to accept or reject the objection. As KRA is doing this, KRA is unaware of 1 dangerous sentence chilling quietly in the Kenyan tax laws. It reads. - As surely as the sun shall rise tomorrow. Any objection decision issued by KRA after 60 days shall be invalid. But the Eastleigh accountant knew that sentence very well. He put 60 beans in his wallet. Every morning, he removed and dropped one bean in his office tin. Day 61 reached. His wallet is empty. KRA has not responded. He rushed to the director. Bossi, KRA has not responded. We owe them nothing. Tumeshinda. Call the party. Many months later, KRA sends their reply. - Hello mall. We hope this email finds you well. We have not forgotten you. We reject your protest letter. You must pay us 400M. The mall ran to court. - They argued that KRA’s failure to respond within 60 days meant the objection was allowed and no tax was due. • The tax appeal Tribunal said noo. The 60 days is just a mere technicality. Bring us more documents for review. The mall refused to supply more records. The Tribunal sided with KRA and ordered the mall to pay KRA 386m. KRA retreated to Times Towers telling the mall na tuliwawon. The mall ran to the high court. They argued again, no response within 60 days means no tax. The good judge asked KRA: Is it true that you responded out of time. KRA nodded like this. The judge removed his spectacles. Paused. Then sided with the mall. The mall was ordered to pay zero. KRA was ordered to pay the mall legal fees. Case closed. Lesson 2. • If KRA does not respond to your objection letter within 60 days, call the party. You have won. • If KRA pushes, run to court and ask for legal costs. Courts will not hesitate.

House hunting tip 101 Before signing that rental agreement, check the electricity meter setup! Many rental plots and appartments use Last Mile Connectivity (LMCP) prepaid meters. This can quietly inflate your power costs even if you're buying tokens directly from KPLC. Here's why you MUST verify. Under LMCP, households get a subsidized connection around KSh 15,000 fee advanced as interest-free Stima Loan. No upfront cash, but KPLC deducts 50% of EVERY token purchase to repay it until cleared often 2-3 years. So if you buy KSh 100 tokens, only KSh 50 worth of actual units. The rest pays off the landlord/property's subsidized connection. As a Result, you pay the same or higher for tokens, but get fewer units compared to a normal non-LMCP meter with no loan deduction. Tenants effectively foot the bill for the subsidized meter/connection the landlord benefited from without any discount on your end. It's like paying extra rent disguised as power costs. Pro tip to test before selecting a house: Buy a small token, say KSh 100 directly via *977#, M-Pesa (paybill 888880), or app, using the meter's number. If you get normal units e.g., ~5-6+ units (depending on band/tariff), it's likely a standard meter and you are good to go. If you get half the expected units i.e., only ~2-3 units or less, it's under LMCP with Stima Loan deduction. Walk away or negotiate lower rent to offset. You should ask the landlord/agent upfront if the meter under Last Mile Connectivity, or has any outstanding Stima Loan?. Alternatively, dial *977# and select manage meters/token to check details. If it's LMCP and loan is ongoing, factor that into your budget, or push for landlord to clear it by paying lump sum at KPLC office.

The BBC’s Global Disinformation Unit spoke to a Kenyan woman who was approached by a man in the street who said he’s from Russia but she didn’t know he was filming her. This is part of a global trend of men secretly filming women and posting the clips on social media. 👇🏾

Dear Gloria Orwoba, I still remember that day at Kamukunji Police Station with painful clarity. You came there as the complainant, after I called you out for supporting the Finance Bill 2024. You looked me in the eye right there in front of the OCS and other officers and said, “William Ruto will be re-elected, and I do not need any of your votes in 2027. I will be nominated again.” Your words weren’t just confident they were dismissive, final, and laced with a kind of power that felt untouchable. But it didn’t end there. You went further far further than anyone should. You said, “I can orchestrate your poisoning, and you will die a slow death.” Those words have echoed in my mind ever since. They were not said in jest. They were cold, deliberate, and meant to instill fear. From that moment, trust disappeared completely. I stopped eating anything unless it came from my lawyer, or @MkenyaMzi or @edmondwabwire, because fear had already taken root. And then came the instructions that followed. You told them to deny me bond. You told them to torture me. And they did. You may never fully grasp what that period did to me, but I live with its consequences every day. Even now, two years later, I am still treating illnesses that began during that time. My body remembers what happened, even if others choose to forget. So when I hear that you can walk into a station and demand an apology, I cannot help but feel the weight of that irony. It is heavy. It is painful. It is, in many ways, incomprehensible. I do not need an apology from you. Not because what happened was acceptable but because I understand what drove it. You were, in that moment, consumed by power. And power, when unchecked, can make people say and do things that reveal who they truly are. But understand this: words and actions do not simply disappear. They linger. They settle. They shape lives. And while time may pass, accountability has a way of finding its moment quietly, steadily, and without force. I carry my truth. And one day, in one way or another, it will speak for itself.
