After making tough and often unpopular but necessary decisions to pull Kenya’s economy back from the brink, the dividends are here! President Ruto has announced plans to submit tax relief proposals to Parliament. Kenyans earning KSh30,000 and below will be exempt from PAYE, a measure that will benefit about... 1.5 million people. Another 500,000 Kenyans earning up to KSh50,000 will have their PAYE rate reduced from 30% to 25%. Bottom UP!show more

Ni mchezo tu...

You are a straight up liar @HusseinMohamedg. As a fellow Muslim I know very well that Allah forbids lying. Kadhib is from Shaytan's playbook yet here you are spinning fairy tales to deceive Kenyans. Stop playing with people's suffering. You and your boss hike taxes squeeze blood from stones with SHA housing levy and every new burden then throw crumbs like this so called relief and expect applause?. This is election bribery dressed as mercy pure shaitanic deception. Fear Allah stop gaslighting the ummah and the nation and repent before the Day when no excuse will save you. Kenyans are not that stupid anymore. Wallahi enough of your lies.

Taxing kenyans to death for this, shame on you #RutoMustGo

Tough decisions like asking Police to Shoot & Kill Kenyans

Serikali ya takataka 🚮🚮 Bado fom ni #WANTAM #RutoMustGo

KENYAN CHAMPAGNE POLITICS! We are not going to forget! A must read! The claim that we are pulling back from the brink rings hollow when you consider the original promises of 2022. We were promised a "Hustler Nation" where the cost of a 2kg packet of unga would drop to Ksh 70, yet in 2026, families are still struggling with basic food prices that have never returned to pre-election levels. This 5% PAYE reduction is a drop in the ocean compared to the 1.5% Housing Levy and the 2.75% SHIF deductions that were forcibly taken from these same workers' payslips. You can't set a man's house on fire then you hand him a glass of water, and call yourself a hero. If the economy is stabilizing, why is the government still unable to account for the Ksh 16.5 billion lost in the 2023 edible oil scam or the Ksh 3.5 billion siphoned through the fake fertilizer scandal in 2024? While you talk about "Bottom Up" prosperity, the Auditor General's 2025 report revealed that Ksh 117 billion was lost through ghost schools and phantom learners. This "tax relief" is a strategic distraction from a "dealing" culture that has seen billions in public funds disappear into private pockets while the actual "hustlers" were being clobbered on the streets for protesting the high cost of living. Kenyans must remember that this sudden "generosity" in early 2026 is a survival tactic for an administration facing a massive trust deficit. We are still in a "Bottom Low" economy where the national debt has crossed the Ksh 11 trillion mark and profitable assets like the Kenya Pipeline are being auctioned off to cover revenue shortfalls. Reducing taxes for 1.5 million people now is a desperate attempt to erase the memory of the 2023 and 2024 Finance Bills that broke the backs of small businesses. If they really cared about the bottom, they wouldn't have waited until the election year to stop taxing people who can't even afford three meals a day. A CHESS master strategist knows how to play with numbers, but a true leader accounts for his failures. We haven't forgotten the 51 people gunned down in July 2023 for demanding economic dignity, nor have we seen a single high-ranking official go to jail for the SHA/SHIF digital system scandal that left hospitals in chaos in 2025.

Next government it will be zero tax. United opposition.

VAT NSSF SHIF housing levy then all of them are looted then you take WB loans & bonds then you loot those too incompetent thugs

These are the effects of poor leadership, thieving and lying regime Your brotherwhom you pray together four times a day, stealing kshs 11 billion from SHA kitty has caused

Bwana Hussein who raised the so called taxes in the first place? You create a problem, You pretend to solve it, And now you want people to see you as saviours. We know the tricks when it is elections/campaign period.

Personally sitawai sahau the tough and unpopular decisions and worse still is the talk from leaders after such acts, fools like Ichungwa came to dunk on us saying hadi after maandamano you still passed the laws in finance bill 2024 quietly… #RutoMustGo

Yes unpopular..Denzel can relate wherever he is resting in peace #Wantam

VILE mtaenda nyumbani hamtaamini

Who created the same problem?

We all can see right through that bullshit!! Word on the streets, in offices, companies, matatus is this: Kenyans may not be sure who they will vote for as the next president, but make no mistake, they are absolutely sure who they are not voting for. 2027 #FAGIATAKATAKAWOTE

Who increased the taxes?

Meanwhile the anga necessary decision👇

Bottom Up economy thinking

Who will tell this man Kenyans are not stupid.. even if we don't pay a cent on anything ruto will go.. #RutoMustGo.. wantam it is, his fate is sealed.. I can't wait for that day..we will celebrate for a month... wantam loading.. kufinish kumaloo..

Tough and often unpopular decisions

Maumbwa nyinyi..ni akina nani walikuwa wameweka hizo taxes?

Is it not this government of unmatchable intellect that raised the taxes?

UNDERHANDED LIE: This isn't uncanny for politicians. Incentives that will be withdrawn immediately after reelection. Even if Mbadi scraps tax from your tax bracket, you will still have to pay SHA, NSSF & Affordable Housing! Approximately 10% of your salary will be deducted!

Public participation in Maragua, MP Mary Wamaua was shocked to find that nobody, including her own sister who was in the crowd, shall vote for William Ruto in 2027. Kasongo ni WanTam!

ni faya si faya

He's campaigning for 2027.The truth is nobody is going to vote for him.

So, in your head you always imagine every decision he makes is tough and unpopular....... Who are you poising victorious over???

The tough and unpopular Decisions they are for sure

We're no longer fools. We know these games and we're not buying them. Idiots. WANTAM ata mfanye nini

🤣🤣🤣
