@Mukiha

You are certainly entitled to your opinion which I most respect, however, to reduce RAO's decision to pay taxes to that of a tax dodger who finally decides to pay is pedantic. Remember this MP's have been living off our spweat for 50 years and that one of the principals choosing to pay will whip the rest in line.

What should now happen is for the rest of the MP's to follow suit.

On another note, RAO gave 3 cheques to clear 3.9M, I wonder how they are going to clear be it that the amounts are over 1m, unless he banks in the same bank as KRA

@ Obi....Surely someone in the office of the PM must have informed the media that the RAO would be heading to KRA to pay his taxes otherwise we wouldn't have seen him walking from his offices to Times tower (ati kama mwanachi wa kawaida) and pretending that pia yeye anaweza queue.....the guy even had a press conference after that to blame KRA for the unclaimed tax issue. Sometime back last year Kenyans demanded for Mps to pay their taxes but no one (apart from Muthama and PK) felt philanthropic enough to do so, now that the consitution demands of them to pay ndio wana anza kujifanya ati pesa si shida....BK!

Come to think of it,their taxes wont make a difference in the one year. Those who have been paying for the last five yrs are the mature leaders. 700,000 is peanuts for an economy with a budget of 1.2 trillion.

Thought he has just said that he is willing to pay only that nobody has told him how much he owes besides he doesn't keep money under his pillow. ABK!!

On a light note:
Honourable Kalonzo Musyoka will embark on a shuttle diplomacy campaign around Africa for support in opposing the taxation of MPs.
