I registered for one these cycling long-trips where there's a meeting point (obviously) before embarking on the journey. Sikujua kumbe majamaa wanakuja kama bike ziko kwa Gari. Mimi I rode from home, sweating like cold tusker. Point is, Gari pia ni muhimu 😭.

Soi has been submerged for years now - should no longer be considered news.
The Kenyan Vigilante@KenyanSays
Major hotels in Baringo including Soi Safari Lodge, Roberts Camp, and Lake Baringo Country Club have been severely affected or fully submerged by the relentless rise of Lake Baringo's water levels. As of May 2026, the lake continues to swell due to historic rainfall, forcing the closure of several iconic tourist facilities along its shores

We can in fact afford a repeat of June 2024.
If that’s the only way the point gets across.

The Finance Bill, 2026 was published on 30th April and is now before Parliament and every Kenyan deserves to know what is in it. The government targets Ksh3.63 trillion in revenue for 2026/27 and a wider budget deficit of 5.3% of GDP in the 2026/27 fiscal year (July-June) up from 4.7% in 2025/26. These are not unreasonable fiscal objectives but the manner in which the burden of achieving them is distributed is a cause for serious concern. On tax filing timelines, the Bill moves the income tax return deadline to April 30th which is two months earlier than the current June 30th and compresses nil return filing to January 31st. This reduces the time available for audit completion, cash flow planning and compliance. For small businesses and individual traders, this is not administrative reform. It is an additional compliance cost they can ill afford. On mitumba, the Bill inserts a new Section 12H into the Income Tax Act which deems profit at 5% of customs value payable upfront before goods are released by KRA as a final tax. A trader importing a bale worth Ksh1 million pays Ksh50,000 regardless of whether they make a profit or a loss. I cannot in good conscience describe this as equitable. The Bill increases residential rental income tax from 7.5% to 10%. Absent a serious enforcement framework, this will drive non-compliance rather than revenue. The government must fix the enforcement gap before it increases the rate. One without the other is burden-shifting. On digital financial services, the Bill removes existing VAT exemptions on money transfers and payment processing. These are the tools of financial inclusion that millions of Kenyans including the very people this government says it wants to reach rely on daily. Making them more expensive will not serve the objective of a broader tax base. By including interchange and merchant service fees within the definition of management or professional fees for withholding tax purposes, the Bill introduces a compliance burden into automated banking processes. That burden will be passed on to businesses and ultimately to consumers. The amendment to Section 24 of the Income Tax Act empowers KRA to deem at least 60% of a company's undistributed income as dividends for tax purposes. This fails to account for legitimate decisions on reinvestment, working capital and business growth. It is a retrogressive measure that sends the wrong signal to the investors Kenya needs. A 25% excise duty on telephones for cellular and wireless networks is proposed. A phone is not a luxury. It is how Kenyans bank, communicate, conduct business and access government services. Parliament must interrogate this carefully. On PAYE, Kenyans were led to expect relief and a restructuring of the tax bands to ease the burden on salaried workers. That proposal does not appear in this Bill. That is not a minor omission. An explanation is owed to every employed Kenyan who was waiting for it. To be fair, the Bill is not without merit. The reduction of corporate tax for non-resident companies from 37.5% to 30% improves our investment climate. The extension of the tax amnesty to cover liabilities up to 31st December 2025 provides a genuine and welcome pathway to compliance. VAT exemptions on electric buses, bicycles, dialysers, animal feed raw materials and PPP infrastructure are sensible measures. The clarity introduced on trust taxation ensuring beneficiaries are not taxed on income already taxed at the trust level and the recognition of gratuity contributions as exempt income are also steps in the right direction. Be that as it may, we cannot afford a repeat of June 2024. Parliament must discharge its oversight role with the seriousness this moment demands. They should not merely rubber-stamp what the Treasury has placed before it. Every clause must be scrutinised. Every punitive or ambiguous provision must be rejected or amended. #FinanceBill2026 #PublicParticipation

I have nothing against development but run me over with a tractor before I pay for nights in a 1000-room hotel. I can't imagine the chaos in Restaurant number 3 out of 11, during breakfast.

The current disparity between our tax obligations and the quality of public services provided is truly nauseating.

I’m glad you asked because these are the things I spend time on youtube on.
It’s not a tunnel alone but a bridge plus a tunnel to reduce winding.
The Swiss have done it on the Gotthard and Lötschberg corridor (road and rail), the French in the early 1900s on the Faux Namti bridge linking China - Vietnam via rail, and the Chinese again on the Tiger Leaping Gorge where this magnificent structure stands highestbridges.com/wiki/index.php…

At Ksh. 7.5 Billion, did anyone consider the prospect of tunneling?
Anyway I think below Ksh. 10 Billion should be ring-fenced for local firms.
We need to find a way to have better priced loans for infrastructure developers and have GoK pay them on time.

Was on the way to work and a strong urge for @Batakenya Safari boots attacked me. I suspect that by Friday morning I'll have walked straight into a store near me for a pair of those good old things. ✅
