If anything, credit should go to J. Muthama and P. Kenneth and not to any other political leader who knowingly and willingly committed an economic crime for ten months with impunity. It is slowly coming to dawn on political leaders that days of impunity were buried with the old constitution. Incidentally, they are also not very sure what cards the new CJ may be holding under the table.

An interesting quote from here: http://www.nation.co.ke/...-/10vtps9z/-/index.html

"Chief Justice Willy Mutunga who is not affected by the demand for back taxes by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) has asked the taxman to compute the amounts owed by judges."

@Bwenyenye,
Wondering too about my Mpig (Kioni).He would rather die than buy himself a cup of tea.....I won't be surprised if he dives from the top of Kirurumo (Thompsons' falls)....and is there a better way of avoiding taxes than this?

Kalooser must be fidgeting and cursing quietly !

@guka. Better wanjohi, at least we see him in the news yapping about anything. Mine is giving that m-PIG from Gatundu a run for his money....interestingly they share the same first name. Bure hii watu

I've been waiting for such talk...

But spare a thought for the Mbandis of parliament.

Picture this..in 2007, you were somewhere employed, doing debits and credits or servicing comps for your boss.

Then the good Lord remembered you and gave you a seat in the coveted August house. You probably beat a 'Karume' in the polls!

So you decided to take a car loan and a mortgage-You need to have something to show for the 5 years, you know!

On top of that, you need to remain relevant in your constituency. The rich chap you beat is now bribing wananchi with sukari and unga. You too need to show wananchi you care!

The wananchi...damn the wananchi...they give and they take. They are very selfish. They want you taxed and yet they will ask 'ametufanyia nini' with respect to roads, schools, hospitals, harambees and matangas. Some of which you have no control of!

What to do? Oppose it at all costs! The Railas, Ruttos, Uhurus and Muthamas of this world are rich, they can even buy MPs

I don't see why i should congratulate someone for paying taxes....especially when you had to be forced to do so. Anyway, its a good start hope the rest will follow hata kama ni PR.

I pay tax and no one congratulates me...

Raila is as usual courting publicity!

He waited all this while so as to pay in arreas and only after a demand is made.

Did he also pay the penealties for delaying taxes.

For political convenience he abandons other Mps without a care.
Ask kina Ruto and Kosgey.

Kenneth and Muthama are the only MPs who can hold their heads high on the taxes matter
