5. Capital gains tax especially on real estate will be increased substantially.
I agree with your conclusion point 1 above based on the new law.
A). How do you come to the other 4 points in your conclusion based on the new law?
B) How does KES devaluation become a certainty in an environment of deflation?
C) conclusion point 4 is just wishful thinking in my view.... It will not happen in Kenya as we are so divided by tribe and we follow our tribal leaders.
Note that the finance bill is only making a bad situation worse, it therefore must be viewed in context. As for your queries I will let reality do the talking...it is a hell of a lot more eloquent. That said, I've expressed my thinking in other threads and I will add that GoK may be forced to sell its stake in some assets (eg safcom) at throw away prices if push comes to shove. I thought your 5 points above were the implications of the new law as you had said.
I wanted to understand how this new law will eventually cause the "sky to finally fall".... since you've been warning against the same for the last 5 or so years.

B) How does KES devaluation become a certainty in an environment of deflation?
C) conclusion point 4 is just wishful thinking in my view.... It will not happen in Kenya as we are so divided by tribe and we follow our tribal leaders.
A. Based on the level of desperation shown by Treasury to pass the new law...you get that nakumatt feeling. The market is pretty good at smelling desperation. The sharks will start gathering same way they did in Turkey and Argentina. We told IMF to f*** off with their insurance cover. B. @lochaz-index has previously posted that the interest rate cap operates like a currency peg. It's deflationary at at time when KE has piled up debt. It's also helping our current account by slowing down consumption of imports. It's almost like we are artificially propping KES. When the peg can't be defended because of reduced forex reserves then  for KES. You might see KES beyond 120. C. In 2002 it was "yote yawezekana" so let's just watch the unfolding events.
A). Desperation? What desperation.... the government lowered vat on petrol products from 16 to 8%. They cut the budget by sh 55 billion. Where did you read desperation?... Can you explain what will the sharks you are talking about do to the economy or are likely to do? Added +8% from 0. My question is why was it 0 rated in the first place? I dont see Kenyans changing their driving, travelling habits because of this....they will lament and get used to it
B). The KES is not strong today because it's being defended using Forex reserves. It's strong because of the deflationary state of the economy. I asked....how will KES weaken in the current state of deflation? And at what point will the Peg you mentioned become indefensible?
C). I didn't get your point how the new law will eventually lead to political chaos in Kenya. Please elaborate. I concur....that will not happen. Monday comes and we go on with life as if nothing ever happened.
All in all......Uhuru should clean up treasury. There are fiscal management and debt issues that need to be tightened and that cannot happen without a shift in mentality. Njiraini needs to go. KRA is still a corruption den... "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear. The problem is you hope when you should fear & fear when you should hope: - Jesse Livermore

My bad, I assumed the context of the developments was implied. Sir, I expected you to at least concede that this law in fact is a step in the right direction and it would if anything delay the debt catastrophe you've been foretelling about here.... the law reduces the budget and endeavours to raise more money through tax instead of more debt financing.
When you say that the law makes things worse, what would have been the better option according to you?

A. You do realize by increasing taxes and cutting spending at the same time the GoK is actually withdrawing money from the economy at a time when banks are not lending  . Which is why we are saying from the charts above NSE will be sub 2K-deflation. They are good examples of what sharks do in such situations e.g. Argentina and now Zambia. B. If KE assets are in deflation don't you think they are better places to put the capital to use. Capital flight can weaken the KES. I don't work with Treasury or the MPs so I don't know how long the rate cap will remain.

You are right sweetheart.... but does that sound like the government acted desperately as someone would want us to believe here? The desperation was in the manner finance bill had to pass.VAT was lowered to 8% but additional tax measures introduced like excise duty on Internet and voice. Excise duty on mobile money raised from the proposed 12% to 15 Excise duty on financial transactions from proposed 12% to 20% Wealth is built through a relatively simple equation
