Tujitegemee - You shall eat cake...

Finance bill is the most litigated bill in Kenya for a reason. The motor vehicle tax will be a major point of contention and undoubtedly will be haulted by the courts if passed. But I suspect it is a gambit.
 
This is what they call 'our time to eat'.
Budget allocation Increase in Executive Office of the President, DP, and parliament (upto 46%), but cuts in core departments like education, agri, water and irrigation, healthcare etc
Tax the bread and milk but exempt tax on helicopter spare parts.
Anyway, sisi watu wa sugarless coffee and nduma/sweet potatoes/cassava cant relate.
On motor vehicle tax, I believe worse is still to come. The ultimate goal is to discourage people from owning cars, reduce the need for building more roads, cut road maintenance funds, and reduce congestion.
Asked about congestion and building roads, Ndii once said:




And as I said...

The 2.5% annual MV tax is on top of additional insurance premium cost as a result of the introduction of 16% vat on premiums, and the increase of import duty on vehicles and parts. At the end of the day, the additional cost will be passed on to customers.

So now we shall be relying on courts whose orders aren't obeyed. Parliament has been acting on the executive orders from the last regime to the current one.
The only thing that has favoured this government fully is adequate rainfall....more food, otherwise even when you lower the price of fuel and the price of other commodities is still high...the effects isn't felt. That's why we can't feel the low price of dollar.
Cement is still at 850

You haven't seen enough. The govt is working under IMF guidelines. They have repeatedly said our tax is only 14% of the GDP, and that the goal is 20-25% by 2028. Ndii has also been quoted saying if ksh. 500/- is beer money for you, then this is not your govt.

In place where you have working system in place i.e. social amenities like schools, hospital and transportation system works seamlessly, the tax is justified, but in our broken down system where everything is haywire hii ni upuzi mtupu.
We must see our tax shillings working for us, not just the for the political class and top echelon of public service.
