First show commitment of managing corruption by bringing all the culprits to law. So far since this government came in all many cases have been dropped. Taxing Kenyans without managing corruption is a zero sum game. Whatever you will collect will be ravaged by state vultures

The issue in Kenya is that, there are many unsealed loopholes that are leaking what is already being collected

This guy used to be sharp. Now he just sounds like he’s using his head kama kabati ya meno

The government should first create an environment whereby those without jobs get jobs and even have tax reliefs on imports to facilitate people getting jobs. After this, the government will get the tax they want. This is what Kibaki did. Increasing tax collection doesn't mean taxing more. You need to increase the number of people who can be taxed by ensuring we have jobs.

These government is the worst to ever run kenya ,punishing the hustlers they swore to defend 😢

Lawyers will be lawyers.....hakuna swali amejibu

Instead of the government overburdening the 2 million Kenyans in formal sector by overtaxing them, why can't they broaden the tax base by collecting tax from informal sector...

very tribal senator

This government is hitting hard to Kenyans 😢😢😢😢

I have always been of the opinion that the government that deals squarely with corruption, is the government that will have the best interests of Kenyans at heart. Get rid of corruption, you will not have to punitively tax common wananchi!!

It's bottom up economics at work. It was clearly and loudly communicated to Kenyans during campaigns. Let it be there should be no complains, it's people's choice and choices have consequences

The extremely swallow and almost juvenile arguments by Cheragei , beats ALL logic that Cheragei is a senator and a " learned " lawyer.

Wanjigi said we r being over taxed to pay loans that were never used productively

Cherargei has really circumlocuted around that issue of where tax has been reduced and finally given no answer..The issue of tax and this affordable housing scam is impossible for UDA to explain to and convince Kenyans..

Does this man understand economics surely. Why the 3% be forceful.

The Kenyan electorate is in for a 5-year nightmare.

THESE ARE REAL CROOKS. WHAT THEY WERE PROMISING PROMISING ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY ARE IMPLEMENTING. MUNGU TU AOKOE WAKENYA FROM PHARAOH'S CHAINS.

Great job with the questions esp why not deal with corruption as seriously as they want to tax common wananchi!!!

Kenya has to live within its means and the budget has to reflect that!

WE DID A BIG MISTAKE TO ELECT THIS GOVERNMENT😭😭😭😭 LIFE IS ALREADY HIGHY BUT TAXES ARE BEING ADDED😭

Tulichokichagua kimeturamba 😂

This government only wants money... But nobody really knows what they want to do with it..Are they taking back the ksh 2m they distributed in every market place during campaigns?

Kenya should default, what did they do with all the money borrowed, it ended up in peoples account in Europe and Switzerland. why has the government ballon, Ruto's government is the largest! default would be the best thing for Kenya

I like what you did right there Nduu..."Yamunei" taken a swipe at Cherargei and he complied unknowingly.

I only have a problem with the reckless looting and wastage of the tax already collected

Just for your information, the new guy, Irungu Nyakera - there is a case related to his affordable housing project where people are claiming to be refunded their money.

This is just a sycophant

What if we as a country default on the loan requirements for at least 3 years?. The money to be used for loan servings instead be used to spur economic growth, the banks and loan lending institution will have to hook loans to ordinary Kenyans.

Why force the issue of housing into people's throat??? Government employees cannot be the one to build cheap houses for others while they are demonstrating from morning to evening doing all manner of bad things... Increase salary first then you can have something to deduct....Some people's incremental date fall in July and they're waiting for that increment so that they qualify for a loan to take their kids to TVETs, Universities. So when you deduct 3% from their salaries then they won;t qualify for a loan and their kids won't join those learning institutions..... Think twice, these employees are living below poverty line...

I don't feel that heat alone habari zenu wakenya another 5yrs tano fresh.

Is the govt investing in training of more content creators.?

Why not ask shareholders to raise it

Finance bill must be stopped until the ruling elite understand that our Kenyan debt is a failure of our parliament, previous jubilee government over borrowing and the 2010 constitution for creating and duplicating administrative offices of Govonors, senators etc, this positions should be abolished immediately ,the Kenyan Tax payer is over burdened, guys let's look at the big picture have you asked yourself, why is it when it comes to increasing the wages of Govonors, senators MPs this guys are all united

Nobody minds paying for things that can be accounted for and will bring a change. However, paying additional taxes to support corruption is unsustainable. The additional funds should come from the Gold that is being stolen from Kenya, The illegal mining, and a reduction in the corruption the "2Billion" that goes missing daily. Don't come to the people that haven't benefitted in any way from Govt.

as a law maker your reasoning is dangerous think about the people who voted for you

No, you do not tax the rich more, what kind of economics do you do? If you tax the rich excessively, they may just relocate to another country, you tax them sensibly

The word must sounds dictatorial.

Tax the idle land above 5 acres

Nkt i thought he will speak sense

Worst in everything!!!!

Its not even tax or anything...Reduce the Wage Bill in Government...CAS...CS...people ain't paying more taxes

I like Cherargei. He is usually at his best to be genuine but as a lawyer, he has a side to defend no matter what the evidence. And he is not good at crunching numbers...or aligning any argument with the facts. Find Ndii and Jimmy Wanjigi at a table to let Kenyans know anything about broken promises replaced with punitive taxation. The government (both majority and opposition, mind you) taking money out of our pocket as we starve so we can pay for infrastructure, white elephants and fuel guzzlers only the government wants

Hii ni takataka

the president the presiden the presiden....these people think that this country belongs to the president. no idea at all but lies after lies after lies and hubris

" Traditional tax" 🤦‍♂

This guy is out of touch.

pitisheni bill mtajua hii kenya ni ya wananchi si yawambunge.... kama mmeshindwa na kazi patieni wengine waendeleze....

Who brings this fellow to the studio, the amount of bush in him is too much.

Nonsense from cherargei

This is just a pay cut forcefully instigated by a government that is unable to manage its finances ...you dont solve the problem of poor management by adding money ...itakulwa

Mlipe ushuru mpaka mnyambe. Na bado miaka mingine 19

At least we're punishing Uhuru.

If they did what came out of their lips Kenya would be a Norway!

Hip kifua yenu mnatumia mtaenda nyumbani asubuhi

Ati they are asking Kenyans kindly? He just said the bill will be passed as it is and our views will be used later!! Lies!

The esteemed dishonourable governor "We have the power of amend, repeal, etc"..his arrogance, authority, and ignorance of the common man's pain beggars belief.....

Aty must nkt

Senator, I hope you're talking to Hustler Nation about your foolish Taxes. Azimio Voters have nothing to do with your tax problems. Are you not operating as a limited company? Pambana na hali yenu.

Spice FM ....you need to put this guys to task when you invite them to interviews/ discussions. You ask very simple questions. Be more robust in your questioning!! This interview has no substance. Tax the rich to make sure that the poor have better living conditions???? In developed countries the rich go to the same hospitals as the poor, schools, roads, infrastructure are developed and minimum wage is at a good level. How can you compare Kenya with developed countries? Broaden the tax base, reduce government expenditure and lastly curtail corruption. Three very simple things. Asking us to pay 3% so that you can pay loans is surely utter nonsense

Pesa ya ruto steal for 2027 election. More poverty more inequality and rampant corruption. Thats your serekali kikuyu and kalenjin nation.

That sly laugh 🤣😏🚮

Obviously this chamgei is a sycophant of zakayo because he can speak for his community when gmo maize was introduced in the land and their maize was still waiting to be harvested ,kales came gun blazing and kuria and zakayo put their tails where they belong. Spice fm you failed to take this man to task about,mdavad office and wife’s,how much is it. Going to cost Kenyans,how about 50 cas,how about 802+ m to buy cars for gacagua and the rest.

Cherargei is a waste of space.

Rubbish why is there no talk of corruption proceeds?

There can be no good investment climate without tax exemptions.....the same exemptions to this day still being handed out to economic wealth generators...local and international.......stop using this excuse to explain why government is broke,,Sisi si wajinga...pesa ilikuwa,,mshatumia

Kibaki raised government fundings from 250 billion to 1 Trillion to run his government before 2010 constitution.Uhuru rraised from 1 Trillion to 3Trillion n loans to run his n county government. All this question did not a rise during KK predecessor n Kibakis government as if kenyans didn't pay the price for the future of their country.Kenyans let us be patriotic and stop being used by miss information from the deep state members who wants to bring down the new dawn.

This senator is a joke we don't want the services then ,

Spice FM moving people from one position to another is not dealing mercilessly with corruption. I know you have to bring people on the show but letting them just talk without factchecking them is not fair. you need to put people to task to bring facts. and bringing Jimmy Wanjigi to speak about the economy is a slap on the face of Kenyans, a government broker, give us a break please.

Height of absurdity! Sycophancy on steroids.

I love the spice fm crew. Cherargei is also a very brilliant, articulate and charismatic leader. Chapa KAZI bro ❤️❤️
