Why Kenyans Are Taking Ruto's Government to Court

Mr. Fanya Mambo, I love your arguments and I support you all the way. It's shameful to see a group of leaders sitting only to suck citizens blood instead of coming out with innovative solution to economic growth apart from taxes

[@johnmlangi6890]

Mr Fanya Mambo. You've presented a very good presentation at the Studio and I'm convinced majority of Kenyans will definitely support your presentation & walk along with you all the way to the Courts to sue UDA Govt, under William Rutto

Very straightforward and up-to-date with the current situation in the country. He articulates issues very well and understands the constitution as to how the gov't should operate when working for the people. Fanya Mambo has the interest of the people at heart, because why would a gov't take Tax from my salary with the assumption that they are building houses, yet I have a house 🏠 of my own...

I got the perception that the Eric didn't want to grasp his point. He kept repeating that of the main issues he mentioned, he went to court to limit taxation and address KRA visitation without notice. Fanya Mambo keep doing mambo.

[@ruthameka]

This guy said govt should take only 20%. You guys don't seem to be listening to him. Kenya does not provide its citizens with services that are commensurate to the taxes they collect. You don't have to put up with a govt that taxes you to death.

[@WWEST464]

On point!!!!

And the little services we receive, we have to beg for them ... And it is given to us like its a favor.

[@fredasanyo9379]

In fact 20% is too much. They should take 5% maximum

[@DjFinestWorldWide]

Fanya Mambo Kinuthia was not urging us not to pay taxes; rather, he is supporting boundaries and deadlines. Either CT Muga did not listen to Fanya Mambo Kinuthia closely, or he purposefully presented ignorance. You forced him to say it twice. The president cannot simply wake up and start taxing Kenyans more heavily.

They are trying to save their asses. They're scared of the truth being spoken at the studio. They fear that Ruto may pounce on them. That's why they behave the way they do. Eric is the epitome of that silly behaviour. CT & Ndu are just merely following in Eric's "footsteps." I used to like this show, lakini siku hizi hi show ni MATOPE! Eric licks Ruto's buttocks a bit too much.

[@johndoe-er3qi]

No sober judge would take him seriously. This is more about appealing to public emotion for political expediency. He says hilarious, petty things about the Govt manifesto 😄, things I would never expect an educated adult male to say. But it's his self centered middle class rants about buying his kids luxuries that takes the cake, but how about the jobless youth in the slums who has to turn to crime to feed his family? Lest we forget, housing was a centerpiece of both manifestos, we should focus on addressing the needs of those struggling rather than trivializing their plight.

Fanya Mambo has a good idea but he is caught up in the emotion. As at 28:41 he has not yet answered how they arrived to 20% which Latiff is still wanting to get an answer from him about it

[@mwendapoleee]

He is a human being thats why he has emotions,he’s passionate.

[@wayando]

Obviously it abitrary ... Preferably we would want to keep all of your salary. But since we need to pool resources to get certain things done we have to find an acceptable fraction of our income to give towards KNOWN common objectives. And 20% is an acceptable number because it has worked in many other countries. And it guarantees that you will keep at least 3 quarters of you pay that you worked for.

[@savingtruth6411]

We should all go to Court.

[@ColossalScale]

What he is saying is not out of the ordinary. I have been to a country where I could negotiate between 24%, 18% and 12% tax on earnings and for each percentage they tell me what the cons and pros are and then I decide on my own. That sense of ownership sometimes even made me chose 24% tax. Introduce functional analysts and actuarist into these tax issues an dgive kenyans options-that would be the best way forward.

When presenting arguments, it is important to avoid attaching personal emotions to them. Instead, it is more effective to be rational and present factual information.

The Fanya Mambo guy is indeed quite eloquent in his speech, but it seems that he tends to provide vague and fluffy statements without actually elaborating on his reasoning. This is particularly evident when he was asked to explain his stance on the proposed 20% tax. It is important for individuals in positions of influence to provide clear and concise explanations for their opinions and decisions. This allows for a better understanding of their reasoning and enables constructive dialogue. By avoiding fluff and providing concrete explanations, we can have more meaningful discussions and make informed decisions. Cloud chaser!

[@jullietmburu9672]

Despite his shortcomings, he's doing something millions of lawyers are scared of doing. How about you get in touch with him, propose your points and see how it goes. Otherwise it's not prudent to 💩 on someone, call them a clout chaser yet they're busy on their feet doing something for this country's future. What are you doing yourself??

We should acknowledge the fact that our constitution is considered one of the most progressive in Africa. However, it is important to recognize that funding all the offices, services, and programs that we desire requires a significant amount of money. The question then arises: where should the government obtain this funding? One option is to borrow more money. However, it is crucial to understand that borrowing creates a postponed debt that we will eventually have to repay at a later date. This means that while borrowing may provide immediate funds, it also adds to our long-term financial obligations. Therefore, it is essential to carefully consider the implications of borrowing and explore alternative sources of revenue to ensure sustainable financial stability in the long run.
