Stupid idea

Bonus, overtime and other allowances should be taxed heavily since employers usually hide salaries as taxes.

People's contracts in Inda are going to be revised, somebody will be earning a salary of 12K with 88K in allowances thus end up paying zero taxes

If the bonus is 110,000, will it be the 10,000 taxed or the 110,000 taxed?

Wacha kiumane .In the next one year it'll hit KRA revenue collection by storm.A shocker as they likely collect 50% of the projections.

Found this article really intriguing...

- 60% uptake of maize released from the Strategic Food Reserve which was released over a month ago. "Most millers have complained of high costs of transporting the commodity from NCPB depots in the North Rift to milling plants in other parts of the country."


- GoK selling a bag of maize at Ksh. 3,000 yet prices in Eldoret have increased from Ksh. 3,200 to 3,800 while in Kisumu its at a shocking Ksh. 5,2000.

- Treasury has also removed duty on imported maize for the next 4 months

Despite all these measures by GoK prices "seem" to be heading North (sky is falling)...Drought has a major role but it's looking more like speculation is at play.
