You cannot impeach someone for implementing the law. KRA has already issued a statement. Legally, both Rotich and KRA are right. The last extension in 2016 had a very specific date on the VAT Act. The effective date was 1st Sept 2018. Until the president assents to the new amendment done this week, the VAT on petroleum products takes effect today. I think the plan is to make sure the new prices take effect. Knowing Kenyans, they will make noise for a day or two and then move on. The president might return the bill to parliament and read the riot act to his minions. None of them has balls to say no to what the president says.

I hope these govt pays our mAkiba2 on 11th.

Copy and Paste Extract: Quote:Hope for banks as Rotich says interest cap will be revisited
National Treasury Cabinet Secretary Henry Rotich has announced that the government is planning to “revisit” the interest rate capping law in a move that he argues will support economic growth by reviving lending to the private sector.
If introduced and adopted by the National Assembly, the changes to the Banking Act will boost the profitability of banks. https://www.nation.co.ke...67642-3lt8qs/index.html
