How The Colonial Era Has Left Kenyans With A Broken System- Jimi Wanjigi

[@NdathieMucii]

Jimmi is an elder and his word should be respected. Ppl should be sitting at his feet and writing every word and put it in National Archives. He should be revered.

[@jjclara668]

Looks like rehersed verse and paid 100bob to put it in comment 😂😂

[@DanielJones-wj7mm]

If you think Jimmi Wanjigi has anything to tell Kenyans, then you are full of BS.

[@abocas]

@@DanielJones-wj7mm oh, he has. But I don’t think he should be “revered”. Or be made a cult leader. But in all fairness, he was talking about what is going on, debt, economy, corruption scandals for at least the past 2 years. More, in fact. And I agree whole heartedly with him. But he also has a foggy history. That’s my problem. I don’t know if I can trust him completely. And he comes from a family of business and politics. He grew up with people like Uhuru and Raila and all the “old fellas”. But he once said “I am a businessman. Business is what I do. And I can’t do business if people have no money”. And that actually convinced me, I think. But “revered” ….. nah, I don’t think so 😉

[@lekis5975]

​@@abocasWell said. He has a murky past, he's the one who created Uhuruto. Had he left them to go and face the music at ICC we would not be in this quagmire now. I am willing to listen to him to the extent of frustrating this regime, but beyond that NO.

I love how intelligent Jimmy is.. most people with high IQ usually have little to no patience because they already perceive the question before you ask them... Anyhu Ruto must go ✊🇰🇪

[@lekis5975]

@yayo_ mfalme Please stop with the sycophancy. We are sick and tired of that kind of behaviour. Please contribute to the discourse or acknowledge that you agree, but stop making CULTISH comments. If Jimmy's IQ was so high, he should have never formed UHURUTO and marshalled their March to State House. This mess started with Kibaki (forcing his way back to State House for a 2bd term he didn't win) followed by the Uhuru presidency. A lot of thiefing which has caused this debt started during Uhuru's time.

As member of the " Jimmy Community " I am here to tell you that Mr Wanjigi in fact comes from one of the Smartest Breeds of Jimmys' - Hes so smart we allowed him to spell his name however he wants...

[@alexokello7555]

What i can get from Wanjigi is that he worked for his wealth. And this could be why he speaks as he does against Tax eaters.

[@afrakanaswahilitv5520]

[@winnieroze]

Eric's and Ken's mentality here is so retrogessive here. If we all sat back and said government will do as it wants despite the law that's how we fall back to a country that isn't governed by the rule of law. Unfortunately as Jimmy said, it's the people to stand up for the law. There's no 2 ways about it. The people shall.

[@joegaya6055]

[@taucetus3657]

"Hiyo Imeenda"... the defeatist sound of the old generation Kenyan who did grew up in the Moi era where malfeasance of government was not questioned. It is the cry of a hopeless Kenyan.

[@TeamEddy]

Well articulated by Jimi. I think the hosts did not get his point of view in regards to execution of court orders. The police maintain law and order and together with the ODPP can present anyone in court for criminal offences. When an arrest warrant is issued by the court it is the police who are tasked with the work of apprehending and presenting the person in court. If the arrest warrant is for the high ranking police officers considering they work in a command structure then you see why the do not arrest their own. The court can only issue orders but the police can decide to execute. The courts cannot arrest anyone so summons will only be on paper if police do not execute. The KRA issue is different from police. The enforcers of taxation are the accounting departments of companies or parastatals. The collection of tax is at the discretion of the companies and that is why some fraudulent companies deduct from employees and fail to remit. The method of execution is KRA seeking court orders to freeze accounts or send agents to the companies to ensure execution. So KRA needs the law and the courts to enforce collection of tax. So if the 16% VAT on petroleum products is reduced to 8% then KRA will not have any authority to freeze accounts those companies that will only remit 8%. For those collecting 16% when a case is brought before court for collection of illegal tax then they will pay for the illegal collection which KRA will not refund them so they will have to take that hit. The execution of arrest warrants is dependent on Police enforcing. While the execution of taxation is dependent on law and the courts.

[@jamesgathuki]

That's exactly my point. Unlike any other aspect of the law, taxation is prescribed, collected, and disputed by and via the law.

[@digitalbusinessecosystem]

In my opinion, Jimmy Wanjigi is someone who deserves protection at all costs. He is imparting a lot of valuable knowledge, and I, for one, am listening intently. For those who doubt him, just wait for the court's ruling. If it confirms that the tax is 8%, it only takes one person to go to the pump, see a different rate, take a photo of the receipt, and post it online. This way, the entire country will know who is stealing from them, and it will be clear which stations to avoid next time you fuel up. I believe this would put an end to their fraudulent practices.

Jimmy Wanjigi is a man who I never get bored of listening to him. He is informed, eloquent, truthful and very realistic. Kudos my namesake...Kudos Spice FM for always bringing us very good debates that touch on our very own existence...

[@MarianHayden-e8t]

[@pchab1966]

They talk like Jimmi Wanjigi is their bar room and casino gambling partner! NO respect for the work he has clearly done in the public interest. Kina Eric have finally figured out how to get in the inner circles of a corrupt system, so now they are like why spoil the party? Si even you if you get in utanyamaza tuu!? This is how good and competent Kenyans - when they are young and starting out - become corrupted and accept the status quo with time. Eric and Ndu are assuming this is the ordained path in life for everyone! IT IS THIS PRECISE MENTALITY THAT HAS MADE NIGERIA WHAT IT IS TODAY; AND AFRICA HAVE A GDP SLIGHTLY LARGER THAN TINY NETHERLANDS, AND SMALLER THAN MANY SINGLE COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD... THESE CLOWNS, AND I USE THE WORD DELIBERATELY, DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CANNIT HAVE CAPITALISM AND ITS BENEFITS WITHOUT INTEGRITY, RECTITUDE & TRUST, ACCOUNTABILITY & JUSTICE. Otherwise, you have a jurisdiction of anarchy controlled by warlords...or criminal cartels and their bosses. Which scenario are you calling for Ndu and Eric. Because if you think you are in the inner sanctum, and you are OK with Kenya becoming Sierra Leone, Liberia, Somalia, Congo Drc, Biafra, Cote D'Ivoire during their Civil wars and anarchy...keep supporting this kleptocratic Ruto Regime.

[@Rymcyr]

A statement was made sometime ago about Kenya being deeply religious, so it's fair to understand the doubt of many Kenyans who hold on to false 'religious' hope that change will come through some other means. Observing that statement, it becomes easy to see why when the time beckons for 'unheard of actions' to be taken, there is a section that will always feel that such actions are a threat to their own livelihoods and the livelihoods of their children. "Are Kenyans ready for change?" Such a statement is made my those in fear that their preservation will be swept away when such change happens. Essentially, they perpetuate the status quo. - Joey

The other thing that you have to ask is, if Total Kenya reduced its retail fuel costs by 8%, because by law the VAT on fuel should be 8% not 16%, what recourse would KRA have since they can't raid and force Total to pay an unlawful tax. And once that happens, Total's fuel sales would go through the roof. At that point, what option would other retailers have other than to reduce their fuel prices?

[@nicklaus8536]

You guys must agree that Jimmy Wanjigi knows the finance area very well. The government cannot enforce those taxes and expenses. Eric must understand that if an illegality occurs, it takes a process to reverse it. That 28b was minuscule in comparison to what was anticipated.

I have to a very deep question to all the peoples and governments in Africa, why are you looking at, and wanting to use the systems of government that your slave masters, and colonizers use to develop their countries? What countries and peoples are you going to enslave and get 200 years of free labour and 100 years of colonization and exploitation? Instead you should be looking to countries like China and Russia, which develop without using any of these evil methods, and are some of the leading economies today.
