Nairobi will have a difficult time in collecting taxes because of how ICT has changed business, and because laws and ways of thinking in enforcement agencies are too 'analogue'.

For example, Mama mboga's will be using 'computers' to run their businesses efficiently. They will be more aware of the importance of cash flows around the market, they will need and access cheaper and fresher produce via their networks, observe her chama's investments . . . and the home will be both work place and school among other institutions that seem to be 'distinct'.

So most of the things written behind my license application form, are no longer in existence.

I imagine that Nairobi is the model county, so other counties are likely to walk into the trap awaiting them.

Another example is the salaries and remuneration commission which is now beginning to be 'opposed' right from the start of the game. I expect Mp's to win their million, and county reps. to follow. Add the high number of V.I.P's and their trappings, and you realize that Government has very high expectations of itself.

But the formula for reaching this expectation is lacking. How is government to look at revenues in order to achieve balance?

That is the BIG question, most talk is on expenditure with no clear plans of getting more money to fund the same!!!
