Seems Nabii Ruto is determined to milk everyone through the use of tax.
Kenyans who don't have jobs and decided to venture online to make the ends meet and earn a decent income. The government is in the process of taxing them.
The latest culprit to the tax collector is the online business, influencers and content creators who never pay even a single coin to the tax man.Then they later flaunt expensive cars and lifestyle making people who pay tax a joke.The playing field is about to be levelled.
The Government has flexed it's massive muscles and they have intent to collect a percentage of their hard earned money.This is in collaboration with the Social Media giants(Facebook and IG Meta and also YouTube) , so those who post are in paid partnship with a certain company when advertising watalia Kwa choo.The revenue will be less tax
