Thou shall not pay By Shadrack Kirong

Members of our tenth parliament have yet again reached another unanimous decision to exclude themselves from taxpayers register. Indeed desperate times call for desperate measures. Their eleventh commandment “Thou shall not pay” comes at a time when the relentless KRA have tightened the notch higher on them.

Despite the constant pressure from the media houses and general public compelling them to remit their taxes, our so called waheshimiwa have never failed to come up with counter cushionary strategies to shutdown these efforts, and this time round adding some few figures to their already fat pay slips is the way forward. Waheshimiwa!.... washindwe!!!

The crystal truth that Solomon’s wisdom ‘Marende’, have failed to prevail, leaves me no choice but to subscribe my stand to the old faith that, MPs are religiously vigeugeus. It violates logic to even think how a whole MP, expected to uphold and protect the law, be the first one to collaborate with other like-minded MPs to resists and trample on the same law they gave birth to.

“….its a new dawn….a new baby has been born”. This were the sweet ushering sentiments that greeted the air during the promulgation of the new constitution, day optimism was riding on the shoulders of every Kenyan citizen. A day we thought past historical injustices and violation of the law were footed in the dustbin of history, that no one will be above the law. Alas! Little did we know what our lawmakers were promulgating in their own hypothalamuses, one being be tax uncompliant, stealing CDF funds, blocking passing of any suspicious or threatening bill in the house……...list ends in 2012.

As the early extolling of party politics begins in earnest , to countdown to 2012, our waheshimiwa should rise from their shortsightedness and realize that thousands of caravans of patriotic wananchi, who are tax compliant, are watching and waiting for them in 2012 for the vetting process once again.

  1. Those people are good-for-nothings, Kirong. Keep it up with such writings. I also wrote a note against them. Soma
