    How About Not Paying Taxes?

    Posted: April 3rd, 2008, 7:03pm CDT

    “Both parties are pleased with the outcome of the discussions in the spirit of give and take.” As in give more cabinet posts and take more money from Kenyan taxpayers. Even the people who form those rich governments that you said were going to build us a road from Mombasa into the Sudan are not so selfish, yawa. You think I’ve forgotten? It wasn’t that long ago. And these are the days of youtube. I insist on the twenty four hour economy, raisi wa makabwela, and kazi kuendelea.


    Beware, glad (I can spell alright) coalition government; the common mwananchi you love to talk about on the campaign trail is real. Be warned, too; right now, this particular mwananchi has no incentive to pay taxes once she starts making money on Kenyan soil. It makes no sense to her that Kenyan wananchi will be working at least twice as hard as the mwenye nchi to put Ksh 2 billion a year into the pockets of wenye nchi. For wenye nchi who will never form a quorum to discuss bills that concern the mwananchi. She has not forgotten that you never fight over your own salary raises, and back-dating your fuel allowances to two years for those fuel guzzling vehicles of yours. Ati each minister earns an average of KSh1.1m kwa mwezi moja . Bado MP wa kawaida hawajakula. I’m not paying. Not when that money could have gone to Flamingo where raw shit flows in open trenches for lack of a sewage system, right next to the pipe that (erratically) delivers drinking water to the residents, and where all the kids play. Not when there’s not enough money to build enough facilities for primary education or to deliver free secondary school education for all. Not when my mother has to give away her milk and potatoes because the roads are impassable and the buyers that make it there can’t offer anything better than the throw away price. Definitely not when the ministry of education and the ministry of health are considered ‘bone ministries’. No. Never again.


    I am not allergic to steak either.
