I like this sana......From Solomon to Solo-moron.

Hahaa, I like it. The way things are going, this thing will be decided by the supreme court and MP's should be very fearful with Mutunga in there and the fact that the judiciary has already asked KRA to help them comply meaning that the judiciary is ready to pay. If the Judges pay, kwisha maneno MP's will have to pay because even if they take their grievances to court, the case will be decided by Judges who are already paying taxes.

Njiraini does not appear to be sending just threats. He has asked any MP who has a problem to go to the supreme court meaning that KRA can only be stopped by the supreme court.

My only fear is that this tax will be paid from CDF.

@robin.. how do I get that job, to action them that is? Nitaenjoy kabisa.

JAMES NJIRAINE for PRESIDENT!!!!

That is very true. The adage that "only two things in life are certain: death and taxes" is coming true in Kenya. Now that the MPs have been assessed for tax, there is no escaping. Even after death, KRA will be the first in line to lay claim on their estates... and the law give KRA first priority, before all wives, girlfriends and children! At that time, there will be no one to protect them.

It is better to simply negotiate repayment terms.

and who is MPig Mbadi to threaten this commission of a compromised house should K.R.A tax their pay!!!!ASI

solo moronic rulings

I think NONE of Marende's rulings is Solomonic- not unless it's Solomon Mwangi the kamlevi we are comparing with

Actually l felt he was more so threatening kenyans rather than KRA, i.e, if we(kenyans) persist to push mpigs on this issue then "tutaona cha mtema kuni" in the form of a compromised bunge!!! Ngai... I felt like grabbing him "mashati"... yank him thru my TV screen give him a right, left hook & then a right uppercut to KO him & hence shut him up!!! NKT juu BK...

I want the MPs to pay tax, they should have done this from last year. All am asking is, why now? The time when we are in a critical stage of implementing the new constitution. Is there a possibility that this is a tact to destruct us from the really issues? Think about it Kenyans

Imposition of tax

210. (1) No tax or licensing fee may be imposed, waived or varied
except as provided by legislation.
(2) If legislation permits the waiver of any tax or licensing fee—
(a) a public record of each waiver shall be maintained
together with the reason for the waiver; and
(b) each waiver, and the reason for it, shall be reported to
the Auditor-General.
(3) No law may exclude or authorise the exclusion of a State
officer from payment of tax by reason of—
(a) the office held by that State officer; or
(b) the nature of the work of the State officer.

Its very clear who is right and who is Making noise.

KRA has a discretion to demand for payment of taxes whenever it wishes to do so. Infact, they can demand for tax 10 Years from the date the payment ought to have been made. As such, the question of "why now" should not arise.

Speaker's Solomonic or Whatever judgements he may have are NOT law. In fact he is in the same boat with his flock of MP's. He should Pay taxes as well.
