I think each ministry/sector was to develop some policy on the context of the environment they operate on. That is how we got here ... Some insane copy & paste from some economy God knows where?

A more rational person would go like this.

"Habari Mama mboga, you can no longer sell your mboga by the road side because I have now constructed market and have allocated you stall number 100 at an affordable rate in the vegetables section".

Hii ya AFFA rules is just lunacy

@Madam Admin - Does what we are discussing look like politics to you?? Or you are among the Kenyans who like politicizing everything???

Why move the thread to Politics section??

This is politics.

Good move by the govt. This has always been done for export produce since mzungu is very keen on the quality of food he consumes. But it is not done for local produce. Personally i want the govt to ensure that the sukuma and nduma etc i buy are not grown with sewerage water huko dandora and have been handled in a hygienic manner and are fit for human consumption. This will also ensure that farmers don't feed us with vegetables that have just been sprayed with dangerous chemicals (that kill us with cancer) since they have to observe the pre harvest intervals.

Also if i pay 30% tax, i don't see why other kenyans including the vegetable sellers shouldn't as long as their income reaches the taxation threshold. Some of these so called mama mbogas are millionaires, supplying hotels, schools etc, and can put the blue subaru middle class guys to shame income-wise.
