Is Jubilee govt turning back on their promises? It was clear, through the campaigns period, that they wanted to bring cost of living down instead of increasing wages(remember presidential debate?) Taxing basic commodities is fodder for political unrest and riots. Charge more for luxury imports and alcohol or even airtime instead

Ati mobile money tax?its only safcom moving money,others are dead,can safcom alone run kenya?

I still remember those full page adverts on railways, military, lap tops, stadia and the rest!!!!

You can't promise so much before you look at the required additional revenue streams......coupled with the expanded Govt structure, this will be difficult!!!

......suspend the laptop programme for starter, the campign period is over, there is now way you tax the poorest of the poor in the pretext of buying laptops for toddlers!!!!

I really doubt if anyone would implement such a tax. It wouldn't be a funny thing.

Some/most of the promises made by the politicians during the campaign period were unrealistic. But the Laptop promise will have to be fulfilled because that is what was given most prominence by the media and Kenyans. unfortunately this will be at the expense railways, military, roads, and healthcare which in my opinion are more important.
