Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi says there is too much misinformation being peddled about the Kenya Kwanza government's agenda by the opposition. He says there are Kenyans who should be paying taxes but do not because they are shielded. In an interview with The Standard, Mudavadi also tells BIKETI KIKECHI how Kenya Kwanza intends to raise revenue for its ambitious programmes and pay the huge government debt.
What is the reasoning behind the government's demand that every Kenyan above 18 years be brought into the tax bracket and how it will it be done?
There is a misconception there. Making it easier for potentially eligible persons to pay tax by simplifying registration procedures does not equate to "bringing every Kenyan above 18 years into the tax bracket".
