Will there be money transfer costs? How will they be distributed?

Why should there seem to be a favoritism on M-pesa or bebapay? I have no problem with us going digital but I think the government needs more consultation on how they are going to get revenues in a digital world. For example, the anticipated revenues may not be realized because the digital system is inherently against increasing costs, so delivery systems and multimedia conferencing will rise and government will have a harder time collecting taxes.

So the banks get 1% of the matatu revenue?

Bullcrap Legislations by this Jubilee Confused 'Leadership'.

1. Police will still be bribed, even shuttles pay protection money to cops through the SACCOs yet the fares are well documented by issuance of receipts in the offices.

2. Tax evation (income tax) will still continue as usual, since, even landlords have not yet complied. This will cause a hike in fares.

3. Adding VAT on my bus fare (which is what KRA is wants) will not go well with me as an overtaxed citizen.

Mayb saccos will come up with prepaid seasonal tickets. Problem is our public transport system is so unreliable and one might need to have a number. Unless of course they come up with a sort of visa card.

That unreliability part should be sorted first...

@dunkang, apart from your second point, I disagree. I doubt govt would want to add VAT for fare. They most likely though will want to get some income tax from the PSV guys which is good for us all. We've been talkin bout widening tax bracket, right?
