Athletes,just like anyone else earning their income as a resident in Kenya should pay taxes. It may seem a huge demand to ask them pay a tidy sum of the millions they earn.But the rate applicable is still 30% as is the case with anyone else. If they are not for it,as @mkeiy says,let them hang their boots. On the other hand, I must have read and believe as well that KRA will take/takes into account taxes paid overseas so as to avoid the issue of double taxation. But proof for such taxes paid overseas has to be provided.

Tax is paid where earnings are made.

You make your money majuu, you pay tax majuu. NOT here in Kenya.

Athletes monies from majuu should NOT be taxed.

PERIOD!

Now you are talking, who pays the athletes the prize money.....Kenyan garment? NO!!!!

if you have already paid kaisari huko sioni maana ya kulipa kaisari hapa! mark you these guys can always run for Qatar! bila taxation then some people here will start saying 'gava is not doing enough to retain talent' they will still train here, use our roads, live on 'our' land e.t.c. so be wise! akina Moha wa UK si anashindanga hapa akikimbia? hata yule mkale wa UG? so be wise!!

Saa zingine ni uwivu tu. No wazuan will agree to be taxed huko majuu and then come back and be taxed again. It's that simple.
