As citizens of Kenya, we all have a responsibility to ensure the continued success of our economy. Taxing is one key way to do this, but it’s important to remember that there are also downsides to increased taxation. It’s important for the legislature to remind Kenyans of the importance of taxes and the potential consequences of not paying them.
For Kenyans to be able to pay their taxes without fear or hesitation, it is essential that they have a say in the passage of the NSSF, PAYE, NHIF and other deductions that are set by the government. This is why it is so important for Kenyans to engage with their representatives and make their voices heard without fear of how they will be perceived by their representatives.
Kenyans should also understand that their representatives are not only elected to be their representatives, but also to offer guidance and leadership on matters that affect the common citizen. Politicians should not just promise the citizens the CDF kitty and bursary only, but should be willing to offer more solutions beyond these functions, which is an essential leadership skill.
Ultimately, it is up to us as Kenyans to ensure that we can pay our taxes and help secure a stable economy. By engaging with our representatives and understanding their roles, we can ensure that our taxes are used in the best interests of our citizens.
Question:
Do you feel like you chose a leader or a politician who only promised you bursary, CDF etc., but isn’t able to listen to your needs and provide practical solutions?
