I love Billow Kerrow. He puts everything in its true perspective and makes it very easy for majority to understand the hidden details in the pudding✅✅✅🇬🇧
Kenyans will never revolt because we are the most tribal country in the world. I have seen comments from people justifying these irrartional tax policies just because they are from the same tribe with the President. We have refused to disagree based on policies. All we want to disagree on is tribe. That whatever Billow says as an expert I will reject because he is attacking the competance of my tribe, that now has the chance to eat tax revenue. It doesn't matter whether the landlord locks my house due to unpaid rent, what Kenyans care about is that I am a Kalenjin, and my President is Kalenjin. Whether he is incompetent or not, I will defend him for as long as he doesn't change his tribe. And if he decides to welcome other tribes that I am currently insulting, I will welcome them as well so that we gang up to insult the remaining 40 tribes. We have replaced hakuna matata with " welcome to Kenya, we are proud tribalists. What is your tribe"?
@@remmykiprono1646 Do we really need someone to enlight us?...I don't think so. We are simply reaping the rewards of ethnicity infused by our political father's 60 years ago, such political narratives have poisoned our minds and not easy to reverse. For a very long time, our voting pattern has evolved around one man, "Mzee" , He has been a perennial enemy and a theme in every election. Not until we transition from tribal politics, Kenya will continue to oscillate between ICU and HDU.
@@remmykiprono1646 I'm tempted to give you an academic answer, but I won't. I will give you the simplest reply that was mentioned in this discussion. The Kenyan government should live within its means. You don't need a budget of Ksh 3.6 trillion when you can barely collect Ksh 2.7 trillion. Cut the expenditure by removing the 50 CAS taking away Ksh 100m every month. We don't even need any of them. We don't need Ksh 700m for office of spouses. We don't need over Ksh 2 billion for vehicles and furniture. Why do government officials need new Prados to drive within Nairobi where roads are good, then book flights to go to rural areas for official functions? I attended a conference in Rwanda where the Minister of Education came to open the conference in one car carrying his diver, bodyguard and himself. Why do ours move in convoys wasting government fuel and seeking per diem? If you are to reward political cronies like Mudavadi, put them in existing institutions the way Wetangula got speaker, Muturi AG, and the others. What is this office that Mudavadi occupies? You develop economically by using your scarce resources to address your unlimited needs in a productive way. What we are doing is spending our loans on leisure then telling us you want to give us houses when we already have. A house is useless when I'm sick and in the hospital accumulating hospital bills. First make health free, then we will be healthy to afford and live in those houses.
What we need now are heroes and heroines, about a million of them, one brave deed is worth a thousand books. Sentiment without action is the ruin of the soul. Thank you billow kerow may Allah reward you for speaking the truth ...jazaka-laah
Today I will loudly say something that I have been whispering to my friends… I am happy Ruto became president, for Kenyans to see who he really is. See, the guy used to pose as the brightest leader since Kenya’s independence. He actually believed he was better than Kibaki and Uhuru combined, and would provide a kind of leadership that has never experienced before in the continent. He convinced his followers on the same, and they would confidently tell anyone who cared to listen that in terms of governing and inspiring generations to come, Ruto would beat Abraham Lincoln, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Thomas Sankara, Barack Obama and Winston Churchill’s records. Well, there was no evidence to prove he had such potential but they believed he had it, just like Mackenzie’s followers believed they would meet Jesus after fasting to death. Ruto and his followers also believed he was a genius who had way better ideas of managing a country in crises, and would do better than any president on earth who had to lead his people through the Covid-19 and Ukraine crises. By being president, Ruto’s underbelly has been exposed. He is a clueless and a rudderless fellow who spent the first 5 years as deputy president making deals and building a financial war chest, then spent the next 5 campaigning. He only sharpened his political and money making skills, but never learnt a thing about governing and managing a country. Mrs. Obama at one time said "Being President Doesn’t Change Who You Are-It Reveals Who You Are”.-
How will we defend urself when he's buying everyone in govt n church owners 🤔 keeping his ppl in big n high places n killing Baba polititically , Kenya is doomed by the glutton n selfish beings
ANGER is an emotion that when put to good use brings a turn around. Kenyans are so tolerant, the things government does to us is just despicable. It's sad that gov't loses 2.7billion a day to corruption yet the only 'plausible' way of strengthening our economy is by overtaxing. So we arebeing overtaxed to enable looters. The day we get angry is when those in power will stop playing with us.
When you seek IMF help, they normally advice that before they do, the soveriegn (people of Kenya) must suffer 1st. Tax will go up and less exemptions will be done. No meaningful development will be done in the next 2-3 years.
Chosen by 5million, rejected by 8 million who chose Raila.......the choice you should talk about is KENYANS chosing to be tolerant of all these......Ruto was aided to power by the US and UK.......so IMF are in charge of Kenya.....
@@petma5551 the problems go way back when we got independence. The opportunity to use the resources left by the British to develop the country. It is more than Uhuru so blaming him doesn't help. What matters is the government of the day. What is it doing to make things better. Having 50 CAS doesn't indicate that they care much. The problem is the present government, not the past that we removed. We want solutions, but they are adding us problems.
@@mourice1669 yes but that opportunity to grow like Singapore goes beyond Uhuru. If punishing corruption was introduced immediately after independence we wouldn't have reached here. It is now the tradition of Kenyans to loot, not an overnight vice.
Am so glad I listened to this well organised discussion. Billow God needs people like you to be upfront in this country. Honest and a solver of issues. Not biased at all. I think if our leaders were like you then we would be a great nation right now.
Ruto-Ndii economics is falling into an abyss, head first and they cannot see it because they're on confusion steroids. I never saw folks so motivated into self-cannibalism.
How the hell do you deny students financial assistance and then go ahead to allocate nearly 1 billion to the offices of your spouses, appoint your friends to government, put up more positions to your political allies and just spend money frivolously and anyhow? To make it worse, Ruto has managed to convince everyone that he is not part of the reason we are in this mess. His friends got dam contracts, the same eurobond money that is to be paid now, and they squandered all of it. They allocated even more money to build ghost stadiums, none of which can be seen right now. They even looted NYS and NHIF institutions to the ground. I hope those who voted for him go to sleep everyday and think of the moment they marked his picture on that ballot paper.
Julius Nyerere was blessed with Wisdom. The single best thing he did was fix tribalism. Everything else can flow from there. Kenya is built on a house of cards. The tribalism issue will boil until it is out of control. So people like Ruto who think they will lie and use force, and put tribal structures in place will produce unsustainable solutions. Instead of curbing spending and increasing the prices of exports to combat inflation he is taxing the "idiots" the people he believed he fooled, not worthy of his respect. It's worse than people think...
It is said that BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN GOOD PEOPLE DO NOTHING. it's all up to Kenyans to either choose suffering by keeping silent or lead an uprising and remove the suffering.
Nooooo...let him stay there and print the his name in history as the one man plus his voters who killed kenya completely......lets even buy Oxygen..only then will kenyans think out of tribal lines.
Why doesn't Kenya ever think of cutting expenses? Like I have said before, parliamentarian, executive, judiciary should cut their salaries by 60%. They are all overpaid. Close some Embassies. Stop paying for embassy staff to send their kids to private schools when they can go to public school for free. Stop paying allowances. Kenya is the only country I know that pays parliamentarians allowances for sitting. Sit during your regular work hours. Cut all trips. Don't order any new cars. Don't hire your friends and relatives just to give them jobs. KENYANS JOIN MAANDAMANO! REVOLT.
Thanks Billow for telling the whole truth and Kenyan had better be ready. What you are saying is already happening to poor Kenyans even without the coming taxes.
That's the caliber of " leaders " Kenyans elect. They are arrogant, dishonest , and selfish people who think that we are incapable of analyzing issues and debunking their embarrassing lies! Most of them are actually party puppets as if parties vote!
I hope Spice books David Ndii or Treasury CS Njuguna to come on and explain the conundrum that is raising taxes in a soft economy and how that makes any sense. They have to explain..
You make your bed and sleep on it and this is exactly what has been going on in Kenya. Kenyans are screwed left, right and center without raising a finger and that's where the rain started beating us. Taxes are going to continue edging higher and all they do is complain and rant on social media and politicians know that all too well that they can get a way with it. Until we start holding G.O.K accountable it will be business as usual.
We send elected members to parliament to represent our views and interests not speak their minds or represent their parties' interests. Kenyans have spoken and said that this is an oppressive finance bill. Let them listen and implement what Kenyans want, we have brains and we know what is best for our country!!
This is what happens when citizens elect a govt based on negative ethnicity instead of thoroughly interrogating manifestos. As usual, the electorate has been played yet again. Very sad.
Mr. Birrow - to pay VAT thru Electronic Invoice that is the write thing, so we can avoid all loopholes and this is the system using from rich countries. Note: A good thing is any one as producer or a trader have to pay VAT as product is on shelf and the VAT will returning back to them once the product is sold and the Tax will be collected from Consumers.
For the six month in office Zakayo his Oready billionaire and after this 2023 Zakayo will be first trillionaire in Africa ! i remember Uhuru telling us Kenyans Zakayo MANENO TAMU lakini yote Uwongo mtupu MKORA MWIZI lakini atukusikia Sasa Tunakula jeuri yetu!
Great presentation by Spice FM...... unfortunately,David Ndiii and Ruto have to work and think for the benefit of World bank and IMF......they can't think independently for the well being of KENYANS...... we're thoroughly screwed!!
The proposed tax regime will make those with money not to get into business. Why? if you can pay your bills and live comfortably, why expose yourself to potential risks. Yet if the tax regime was simple, effective and friendly, we would be rushing to stay in businesses and get into cottage industries hence expand taxable business pool and create employment.I have heard people now resigning from places where they are shareholders, deactivating registered companies to reduce exposure and some are contemplating reducing staff so that they have manageable risks with statutory deductions and remittances. I am thinking of doing the same.That is called killing the economy from the core.
When someone comes to your interviews, they should say which side of the political class they’re on. Speaking on these issues one should be objective and apolitical and only professional opinions should be given. Everyone who knows about assets and liabilities know very well how kenya is under debt. This makes the debt payment an obligation above anything else. To raise revenue and afford to pay, better way of raising taxes should be employed. The housing levy should be scrapped, but the person income taxes amendment should be passed…those who earn more should pay more. He earns more and he doesn’t want to be taxed.
People are already paying more. 30% of 10shs = 3shs; 30% of 100shs = 30shs. Those earning more are already paying more. Remember your salary will also rise to his level someday peoples should learn to see beyond the tip of their noses.
@@lawrencekimani6658 Before you give me your ignorance, kindly research the taxation levels of other countries within the same level as Kenya. I'm happy to be taxed? absolutely no! But as a citizen, you need to pay taxes to get better services. Taxing over 30% to those earning more than 500k is simple: reducing income inequality is a top priority. What I hope for is these taxes will be put into projects that have a direct impact on the lives of Kenyans.
@Geoffrey Mwenda He already said Kenya is the 2nd most taxed country in Africa. Also I illustrated using a dummies math how higher earners are already paying more. Over taxing is counter productive, it reduces spending power, less consumption less revenue. The higher earners also finance other personal projects and hobbies that employ people. Take that extra away, they do away with the hobby and that's a job or more lost. It's very easy to support such punitive measures because you are happy someone you envy is being targeted but the overall effect is greatly adverse.
Laurence please don’t bother replying to UDA bloggers as they are beyond repair…why would us as Kenyans even bother how much citizens from other countries are taxed in the first place…this regime is taxing us to death and that’s our immediate concern
@@lawrencekimani6658 second most taxed country in Africa? I know you get fascinated by someone mentioning catchy phrases which feed your ego. Kenya is not even in top ten in terms of VAT, or Tax to GDP ratio. Where do these people get statistics from? The finance bill is not overtaxing, that I know but because some political demigods to many say it, it is the word. You don’t even countercheck the allegations and you’re quick to cite.Mention one punitive tax? I will give you a reasoning behind it to just inform you.
The initiator of these tax policies, must be a very smart person,,,why??...he knows his audience so well. It's not a rocket science to tell that majority of those employed in Kenya belong to the middle class. This group is neither hot nor cold, they have hitherto taken a bystander role in everything, they are never bothered nor complain, when prices increase, they can still afford though with reduced income, in case of any subsidies, they are even better. Unfortunately this has made them easy targets for the tax man.
Police wanauwa tu. We need to reform from debt to charity monetary system. We also need the treasury to print our money and not the central bank in order for taxes to go down than they are going up
Am yet to encounter someone who lists down total budget amt,amounts from various sources of revenue and new ideas to raise more revenues without pushing citizens hard on taxes........its all critics of the tax proposal
Kenya iko debt ya 200 trillion shillings and interest is 30 trillion shillings. In dollars denominations. Kenyans lipa massive taxes next 300 years. Kenyan wako slaves ya debt
You are awfully wrong. Kenya's public debt is slightly over 9 trillion shillings and racing towards 10 trillion. And over 60% of the Govts resources is channeled towards debt repayment which is pretty bad. The amounts you are quoting could have led to massive defaults in debt repayment.
The explanation on dividends is one side and his view of vat opens up an interesting debate of who has the final responsibility of verify purchase/sales.
@@kennethkahoro-p1hthe same mentality that has messed Kenya for the last 60 years, on whose side Kenya is still a third world country and on whose side of the fence it is not 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I am thinking of doing the same.That is called killing the economy from the core.
Trillion shilling budgets with nothing to show for it
Extremely sad😢
Atwoli is now sanitized and born again..
It is already a sinking country
My favourite leader during moi s era
When someone comes to your interviews, they should say which side of the political class they’re on. Speaking on these issues one should be objective and apolitical and only professional opinions should be given. Everyone who knows about assets and liabilities know very well how kenya is under debt. This makes the debt payment an obligation above anything else. To raise revenue and afford to pay, better way of raising taxes should be employed. The housing levy should be scrapped, but the person income taxes amendment should be passed…those who earn more should pay more. He earns more and he doesn’t want to be taxed.
People are already paying more. 30% of 10shs = 3shs; 30% of 100shs = 30shs. Those earning more are already paying more. Remember your salary will also rise to his level someday peoples should learn to see beyond the tip of their noses.
@@lawrencekimani6658 Before you give me your ignorance, kindly research the taxation levels of other countries within the same level as Kenya. I'm happy to be taxed? absolutely no! But as a citizen, you need to pay taxes to get better services. Taxing over 30% to those earning more than 500k is simple: reducing income inequality is a top priority. What I hope for is these taxes will be put into projects that have a direct impact on the lives of Kenyans.
@Geoffrey Mwenda He already said Kenya is the 2nd most taxed country in Africa. Also I illustrated using a dummies math how higher earners are already paying more. Over taxing is counter productive, it reduces spending power, less consumption less revenue. The higher earners also finance other personal projects and hobbies that employ people. Take that extra away, they do away with the hobby and that's a job or more lost. It's very easy to support such punitive measures because you are happy someone you envy is being targeted but the overall effect is greatly adverse.
Laurence please don’t bother replying to UDA bloggers as they are beyond repair…why would us as Kenyans even bother how much citizens from other countries are taxed in the first place…this regime is taxing us to death and that’s our immediate concern
@@lawrencekimani6658 second most taxed country in Africa? I know you get fascinated by someone mentioning catchy phrases which feed your ego. Kenya is not even in top ten in terms of VAT, or Tax to GDP ratio. Where do these people get statistics from? The finance bill is not overtaxing, that I know but because some political demigods to many say it, it is the word. You don’t even countercheck the allegations and you’re quick to cite.Mention one punitive tax? I will give you a reasoning behind it to just inform you.
The coffers are EMPTY. How does the economy grow when the coffers are EMPTY?
Those in government are the same ones who emptied the coffers.
Are you sure where will they get money to pay civil servant
Waliochikia Uhuru uko mlima Kenya pia watalipa hizo taxes???
The so called ‘business people’, I hear they are now crying 😭
Just cut down on expenditure.
Why not make this man finance minister.😢
why is local clinker expensive?
Cost of production

Reminds me of the Americans... : Paul volcker and Alan greenspan.. All over again 😔
Ruto is the only president these church owners glorify n sees 👀 no sin in him
The initiator of these tax policies, must be a very smart person,,,why??...he knows his audience so well. It's not a rocket science to tell that majority of those employed in Kenya belong to the middle class. This group is neither hot nor cold, they have hitherto taken a bystander role in everything, they are never bothered nor complain, when prices increase, they can still afford though with reduced income, in case of any subsidies, they are even better. Unfortunately this has made them easy targets for the tax man.
💯💯👊
one canon of tax is simplicity
Police wanauwa tu. We need to reform from debt to charity monetary system. We also need the treasury to print our money and not the central bank in order for taxes to go down than they are going up
We are living in the dark days and this KK government doesn't seem to care
Talk about how big Kenya gov is and wapunguze na watoe vipii mcas gacias and other useless reps
Am yet to encounter someone who lists down total budget amt,amounts from various sources of revenue and new ideas to raise more revenues without pushing citizens hard on taxes........its all critics of the tax proposal
Not sounding good for the country. Lebanon loading...
Kenya iko debt ya 200 trillion shillings and interest is 30 trillion shillings. In dollars denominations. Kenyans lipa massive taxes next 300 years. Kenyan wako slaves ya debt
There's no country without debt.
Ati 200 trillion hio. Umetoa wapi.? Whats your Soource?
You are awfully wrong. Kenya's public debt is slightly over 9 trillion shillings and racing towards 10 trillion. And over 60% of the Govts resources is channeled towards debt repayment which is pretty bad. The amounts you are quoting could have led to massive defaults in debt repayment.
Big fan but part of these statements are correct and some are wrong
Example? Of a wrong statement?
The explanation on dividends is one side and his view of vat opens up an interesting debate of who has the final responsibility of verify purchase/sales.
@@kennethkahoro-p1h those are academic details...bottom line is GOK is hell bent on raiding businesses and individuals pockets
No and yes it depends on which side of the fence you are but if I was government I would change the tax rates but broaden it
@@kennethkahoro-p1hthe same mentality that has messed Kenya for the last 60 years, on whose side Kenya is still a third world country and on whose side of the fence it is not 😂😂😂😂😂😂
If William Ruto means well for the nation, arrest the kemsa looters, Covid millionaires,NHIF scandals,police container scandles,FKF scandal, all this money can be recovered and distributed to banks and Kenya will be rich within months
Yes kplc, arror kimwarer dams, maize scam, fertilizer scam nys ect etc etc etc etc etc etc
Ruto my president oyah
Stop yapping my friends
Billow Kerrow has poor listening skills
This fake ODM talk from Kerrow is just academic but means nothing.
Really your happy with the new taxes???
Imagine 500 billions on loans in 6 months.
😮 when sycophancy overides sober reasoning. Sad.
Bottom up was more academic and has achieved nothing if you want evidence it's there with the hustlers fund
Haha wafanya biashara, msha anza kulia, na bado!!!
