President Uhuru Kenyatta may be the next target in the push by the Kenya Kwanza administration which seeks to ensure that all Kenyans pay taxes

This comes a day after public debate ensued online as to why former Presidents Jomo Kenyatta and Daniel Moi had a law gazetted exempting them from paying estate inheritance tax while all other Kenyans were subject to the law.

According to the Estate Duty Act Cap 483 of 1963, a tax known as estate duty shall be levied and paid on all property of which the deceased was at the time of his death competent to dispose of and all property in which the deceased or any other person had an interest ceasing upon the death of the deceased.
