Kenyans should feel sufficiently philanthropic to pay tax

By Kenfrey Kiberenge
Finance Minister Njeru Githae is a bright man. Having watched his predecessors at the Treasury over the years cleverly target the oil industry as their prime source of revenue, he decided to fish elsewhere.

I say clever because the ministers knew that everything in Kenya is somehow a product of petroleum translating into a larger tax base. This time, though, Githae appreciated it would be improper to raid the oil sector again.
