KRA only taxed Sh377bn out of Sh809bn worth of Chinese imports

This is where Kenya Kwisha government should start looking instead of making political noise. The beauty is China lists all its exports to other countries. So KK regime cannot cheat us here. Fanya kazi wacha sideshows.

As long as it showing weakness and loopholes in our tax system we will accept it. I believe this is what Ichungwa was alluding to.... Uhuru tax waivers in his last year in office. Should be revisited and where applicable those tax cheats should be billed

if those goods are taxed what happens to these imports do they decrease or do they create inflation. or would this market go underground and smuggling become the order of the day. you can't tax your way out of some of the problems
