  The Treasury is inviting all Kenyans and stakeholders in the Kenyan economy to participate in putting together ideas and proposals for consideration as it crafts the next budget, 2008-2009.
  In the circular published on the internt, the Treasury Permanent Secretary Joseph Kinyua asks that such proposals take into consideration the aspirations of Vision 2030 and in particular such measures as would enable the government to achieve its objectives of rapid economic growth, wealth and employment creation and other such measures as would lead to greater economic development and a reduction in poverty.

  Expensive water

  Tags:  Kenya budget  

  Bottled water companies have been lamenting about the excise duty they have had to pay for years – and it got even worse after the budget was read last week, increasing excise duty from 2.05 to 6 shillings excise tax per litre. This is likely to increase the price of water by 3 shillings per bottle. But at least they dodged a bullet with the postponed increased in the price of plastic (Those small plastic bottles you use and throw away cost about 10 shillings each, including plastic labels)
  
  Still it is an odd paradox of life that a litre of water [which anyone can make at home] could (until recently) cost more than litre of petrol [imported from thousands of miles away and undergoes several complex processes].
