Uhuru has jus allocated money for water harvesting pans in ASAL and non-ASAL areas. I’m really excited about this, i was in Garissa the other day and the situation is nothing to write home about. This is a brilliant move – instead of always giving food relief all the time. Brilliant budget!!!

Here’s the Breakdown

Kshs. 1.1 Billion for construction of 15 water harvesting pans (100,000 Cubic Metres capacity) for each non-ASAL constituency and Kshs. 1.05 Billion for construction of 20 water harvesting pans (100,000 Cubic Metres capacity) for each ASAL constituency

kawaida wameongeza...bure kabisa!!!

I like the proposal that filling of tax returns be scraped for those who only fill in PAYE!!!!

Phombe na thigara up again.
Withholding tax juu pia

Tax on cigarettes to be 1200 per Mille

My comments on UK:
- Twitter and ipad UK, you the man!!
- Zero rating tuk tuk ambulances is very noble, but how will they work on our rural (bad) roads where they are targetted?
- Zero rating kerosene. I think this was the case prevously (I stand corrected) and it was discovered that aeroplanes were using it. What measures will be taken to ensure this doesnt happen?
- If people in employment stop filing returns, how will KRA ensure personal relief is not claimed more than once if they hold several jobs?
- Now that with holding tax has been doubled for consultancies, is this tax now final?

Shame on K24,how can they make such a big lie?
Kenyan news is just pathetic?
The budget simply talked about something like excempting employees from filing tax returns....NKTeeeeest.

Very clever budget. This will definitely earn back the forgein investors' lost confidence in Kenya. They should speed up the approval Mutunga and the market will only head north. I was impressed by the views of the wananchis and analysts who were interviewed on the streets after the budget by KTN and Citizen, very optimistic views.
