Kakamega County’s bid to tax kiosks misguided

If it’s true that the Kakamega County Assembly has plans to increase levies for kiosk owners, then something must be done urgently to scuttle those efforts.

Senator Boni Khalwale must be praised for exposing the plot, which is only meant to increase MCAs’ perks.

Across the country, MCAs have tasted real money by holding endless committee meetings and pocketing hefty allowances. This has only whetted their appetites for more.

What MCAs do not want to hear is that there is no money for this or that. But let’s not misuse taxation to finance luxurious living for a few.
