@Willingtolearn: Can we now compute the new prices after VAT: We start with the Nation Newspaper: Was 50/= and now is 60/= but should be 58/= strictly appying the 16% VAT. This will cut across the board, it's an opportunity for the producers to increase their prices across the board. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

I seriously have to tighten my belt, yesterday I told myself, hiyo afternoon chai ya ofisi, i'm never gonna leave, kwanza ikiwezekana 2 cups. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around....

Very unwise of this regime to deliberately increase the price of food e.g. milk and milk products. You can be sure that even if the VAT on these items is removed, the prices will not go back to what they were before.
Political blunder if you ask me.
Yet we know that the extra money is simply going to fund the astronomic wage bill and not the development budget.

This will cut across the board, it's an opportunity for the producers to increase their prices across the board. I think it should kes 59.52 since it is based on selling price. 60 is ok after rounding up. I care!

Instead of mourning how life is worsening we should be asking ourselves how are the people we have entrusted with taxes and this devilution thing handling the current taxes? Unless and until we sit down and cost the true expense of the county gaarments believe you me the worst is yet to come we have just devolved unchecked graft and wastage of our taxes 47 times i read stories like this one and i want to lynch a governor
