I'm a farmer who supplies to the big supermarkets and I now pay taxes on cabbages potatoes and some fruits. So I don't know what this delusional MP is talking about

[@Ken_W254]

If you see a political leader being interviewed especially on sensitive issues affecting mwananchi then here him/her start quoting Bible verses, that particular is a thief n failure. They try their level best to defend their sides (failures) through blames.

[@TheWorldoftheFuture-eu5gp]

I have just witnessed the most incoherent person ever, in addition to the Mbogo interview yesterday. Guys who come to an interview and answer based on street and twitter knowledge.

[@davidgachoka]

GOD please save Kenyans from leaders such as the Gatanga MP/Lawyer.He is a total disgrace!!!

[@davidnganga2587]

What we are seeing are our worst MPs representative from Mount Kenya. People who don't know that their actions have consequences you pass bills which you have not understood Tugeges indeed 2027 haiko mbali

[@bonifacemwangi8956]

Too bad, very unfortunate that we have to wait that long and not soonest to get rid of these tugege, aka, Ruto's voting machines in parliament. Nkt!

[@kennethmuigai2551]

They just wait for question of yes or no to serve their master

[@gachuhi]

The worst part is that he is apparently a top lawyer.

[@chrisogonas]

Very good,Ndi! You held his feet to fire. Great questions 👍🏾 The MP took away much of the time bubbling and rumbling with lots of non factual statements. He can't even admit he was gaslighting his constituents not long ago about avocado taxes. How do Kenyans install such deceptive leaders into office in the first place?

[@user-rh8nw7xj6p]

Those who voted for Avocado tax, Wananchi are waiting for you in 2027. You better change the law to give MPs and the president 7 year terms.

[@Ken_W254]

There's no taxation in gulf countries yet very much developed. Infact it's illegal to tax someone's salary. Why is this MP lying too much when he says countries whose people are highly taxed are more developed than those with less taxation.

They manage there mineral resources without corruption

[@ogemaable]

This man is dodging every question, and very cagy.

[@davidgachoka]

Mr.Edward Muriu ,I am a farmer a dairy farmer,i did not receive the subsidised fertilizer you are talking about & for your information the milk I am delivering to my co-op is taxed @ 3%.You are misleadind or you are not intouch with the reality on the ground!

[@simonndune5279]

The so called mp is finding it difficult to explain coz they passed it with Raila and uhuru in their poor minds,sasa kimewaramba!to hell with you msaliti mp.nkt!

[@Bobby-wk4oc]

MP practice what you are preaching

[@adrianteri]

The lawyer should stay in his field. Taxes for an authority/gov't that has a money of account aka a currency simply funds/pays NOTHING.

[@danonduko9276]

What is this guy talking about surely? ETims means electronic Tax Information Management System!!! It is all about taxations not just data collection to take them to Jerusalem!! Haki haka kagege yawaah😂😂😂😂

[@snjau7613]

He is useless like so many we elect,unfortunately. What shall we ever do to get people with broader minds.

[@Ngangaf462]

The gatanga kk mp is lying. Exaggerating the issues on the ground … very sad….See how he’s struggling on questions not sure what to say… Ask the people in gatanga their water pipes are dry most of the..

[@odhiamboomino5432]

Total nonsense! Answer the questions…!

[@kennethmuigai2551]

He just a lawyer and they avoid questions

[@Bobby-wk4oc]

Wasted my time this Mpig is garbage

[@harrismuiruri4982]

You, honourable members of Parliament will come to look for our votes in 2027, and the wording and spirit of the voting will be applied to you by us the voters you hold in contempt! Remember we pay taxes and also vote

[@georgemayo5623]

Sounds true the way, the message is conveyed.

ETims must be deployed to everyone. This will unlock the country's full potential. There are many kenyans today riding on the back of others. Even if your tax is sh20 a year, it should be paid.

avocado tax. Let that sink in

@sjsm8578 avocado among other things. If farmers record they sell 10 tonnes, and aggregators declare 7 tonnes, KRA enforces payment of the rest

Everybody already pays taxes through electricity fuel transport salt etc. Everything that's sold in any shop has an element of tax and its called indirect taxes..
