the guy has lost it. taxation rules are very clear on income obtained by Kenyans regardless of where you earn it. there are also controls on double taxations. means in his gova, some people will be exempt from taxation while wanjiku is taxed through all avenues!  Hawesimakeit! Thieves

This is our Gov Romney, he will say anything to get elected and change position as many times as is convenient.

@ King, enlighten me brother....the amount the athletes earned is taxed in the foreign country, right? Why tax the same amount here? What if the same athletes opened accounts in a foreign country, and deposited that money there to later do bank transfers?

I don't think he has a say on the matter.
BBI will solve it :)

If a country has a tax rate of say 20% and Kenya's taxation is 30%, Njiraini will come for the balance of 10%. However, if they were taxed at 30% in the country of the meet, Njiraini gets zero.

Then I really do not see why the PM had to go around mentioning this...he would have just explained it like you just did...

its quite clear that this is a political move - Athletes watashangaa... Njiraini will still swoop and take his cut... If we have a double taxation agreement with the countries where the prize money is gotten - then they are lucky bila ya hiyo.... 2 things in life that are mandatory - death and taxes. All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!
