Kenya Discussion / Re: Ukraine wipes out 41 Russian nuclear bombers
« Last post by patel on June 03, 2025, 12:17:01 PM »
Comedian will regret this move. Military complex wants to escalate but Putin has proven to be too smart for these jokers. What a sick move by the comedian. He is trying to trigger a nuclear war but Putin will take his time before making any move. This changes nothing on war front. Russia is still gaining more ground. Russia is winning.

Wewe ni mjinga wa kwanza hii duniani.

Was I born yesterday? I transact money several times in a month for years. Never have I paid 10% for a transaction. Transaction fees are paid, but not a tax. If I pay my electricity bill through mpesa, why should I pay 10% on top? The electricity is already taxed. The bank that charges me transaction fees pays taxes. Do not support KK regime blindly. This will push the economy back to cash economy.

Hujambo dada. Habari ya Ujerumani?

Welcome to the world... tax and death are certain. Transaction taxes are applied all over the world.

In Ruto's maiden SotN address in the joint parliament, he listed taxes as thus:

     1) transactions
     2) consumption
     3) income
     4) assets/wealth

He said Kenyan taxes were bottom-heavy i.e. the poor paid more. Tax decreases 1 towards 4. He said it should be the reverse - top-heavy - the rich should pay more on their wealth/assets.

That noble pledge has since poured through the reality cleft into the political morass.

Kenya Discussion / Re: Elon Musk is mental.

They are junkies with Trump. Well all Yues is generally functional junkies sijui mental health.

Quote
Mr. Musk’s drug consumption went well beyond occasional use. He told people he was taking so much ketamine, a powerful anesthetic, that it was affecting his bladder, a known effect of chronic use. He took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms. And he traveled with a daily medication box that held about 20 pills, including ones with the markings of the stimulant Adderall, according to a photo of the box and people who have seen it.

Quote
Mr. Musk had been using ketamine often, sometimes daily, and mixing it with other drugs, according to people familiar with his consumption. The line between medical use and recreation was blurry, troubling some people close to him.

He also took Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms at private gatherings across the United States and in at least one other country, according to those who attended the events.

Fight with Tresury Secretary then after quiting DOGE takes spokes person, who is Stephen Miller's wife and now full scale twitter war. Musk claims he has already banged her on deleted telegram message and will pay her more to work for spaceX. Miller left with egg on the face lol. These MAGA people are all methheads! You know America is fucked with such folks in the leadership!

teve Bannon, ex-Trump strategist, said Elon Musk got physical with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent during a fight at the White House, as per Daily Mail report. This happened because Bessent accused Musk of failing to cut enough government spending as promised.

Bessent told Musk, "You promised $1 trillion in cuts, and now it’s just $100 billion. What are you doing?" Musk didn’t like that and shoved Bessent. It wasn’t just a shouting match, it was a real physical fight.

The White House confirmed the incident happened in April, on Musk’s last day as a special advisor to Trump. Leavitt said that Trump’s team is full of passionate people, and disagreements happen sometimes, as stated in the report by Daily Mail.

Around the same time, New York Times also reported that Musk had been using drugs like ketamine, ecstasy, and psychedelic mushrooms during the campaign. Back in April, when the fight first became public, one witness said it looked like “two billionaire middle-aged men thinking it was WWE in the West Wing”, as mentioned in the report by Axios.

Bessent was heard yelling “Fuck you!” repeatedly at Musk. Musk replied “I can’t hear you. Say it louder.” The fight started in the Oval Office, then moved near Chief of Staff Susie Wiles’ office, and then to the National Security Advisor’s office, according to the report by Axios.

Bannon said Trump supported Bessent 100% after the fight. Trump also got mad at Musk earlier in March, when Musk had another clash, this time with Marco Rubio over mass firings at the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). After that March fight, Trump publicly said he wanted to limit Musk’s cost-cutting ideas, as per reports.

Now that Musk is no longer working at the White House, he has started saying a few things he doesn’t fully agree with about Trump’s team. According to the report by CBS Sunday Morning, Musk said that while he agrees with some of what the administration does, there are things he doesn’t fully support. Musk said he’s in a “bind” because he doesn’t want to attack the administration, but also doesn’t want to be blamed for everything they do.

FAQ
Q1. Why did Elon Musk and Scott Bessent fight?

Q2. Did Trump support Musk after the White House fight?
No, Trump supported Scott Bessent after the fight, according to Steve Bannon.

Daily Mail seriously... a UK gossip rag.

Of course it doesn't pass the smell test.

See the highlighted text: how can April be Musk's last day as Trump advisor? He just left last Friday. Special government employee cotract is 130 days - over 4 months - end of Jan to end of May.

This is click-bait. Partake at your own risk.

Ujinga! So if Pundit sends his mpango 10k for services rendered she has to pay 1k taxes. For what?

The Finance Bill 2025 proposes several key changes to enhance tax collection and simplify compliance.

It introduces tax deductibility for contributions to the Social Health Insurance Fund, affordable housing levy, and post-retirement medical funds, which could reduce taxable income for contributors.

The bill also plans to replace the current 1.5 per cent Digital Services Tax with a 20 per cent Significant Economic Presence Tax targeting foreign digital businesses, broadening the tax base.

Excise duties are adjusted, including a 10 per cent levy on money transfer services, 15 per cent on alcohol and betting advertisements, and 5 per cent on imported sugar, except for pharmaceutical use.

The VAT registration threshold is raised from Sh5 million to Sh8 million to ease the burden on smaller businesses.

Additionally, the Kenya Revenue Authority will have greater access to financial data, such as mobile money statements, to better detect tax evasion. These proposals aim to strengthen revenue but have raised concerns over privacy and business impact.
