Nothing about us, without us, yet here we go again. The Draft Income Tax (PWD Exemptions) Regulations 2026 are a direct attack on our hard-won gains.
Here is why I am fighting back:
Hierarchy of Disability: Reg 10(2) ranks disabilities into "mild" & "severe" denying exemptions to "mild." You cannot tier human struggle. Equity isn't a ladder.
Punishing Families: Regs 20โ23 restrict relief to only one parent. What about households where both parents carry the load, or families raising multiple children with disabilities?
Illegal Toll gates: A KSh 1,000 fee for assessments? The PWD Act 2025 repealed assessment fees! Why is this draft attempting to break the law just to monetize our access?
Harassment as Policy: Requiring a person with a permanent disability to re-prove their condition every 5 years, and pay for it? Permanent means permanent.
Rights are not privileges to be rented from the state every five years.
I am submitting firm interventions to protect our Constitutional rights. We will not be pushed into the shadows.

nobody is more stressed than a person who has a lot of interests, knowledge, and passions and is still confused about their career.

False alarm ๐จ at JKIA has passengers and staff scattered as they try to leave building. Its been blaring for half an hour and no one seems able to stop it. Horrible.

Imagine discovering that people actually live and work beyond the resorts. Zanzibar is an island, not a five star hotel. Please travel with some common sense next time.

Curiosity is one of a personโs most important intellectual virtues, expressed in a drive to understand the world, oneself, and the laws of existence. It is nourished by respect for truth, sustained by critical thinking, and is one of the main foundations of complete self-realization and a flourishing life.

I want to share a brief update.
My presidential memoir, PROMISE ME, AMERICA, is coming out on November 17th. I hope you'll read it. It covers my years as President. The challenges we faced, the decisions I made, and why I made them. It's about who we are as a nation. What we stand for. And America's role in the world. More than anything, it's about my faith in the American people and the great American experiment in self-governance and democracy.
While writing the book, I was diagnosed with cancer, a disease known all too well to millions of Americans and their families. My doctors continue to be encouraged by how I've responded to treatment. And the prayers and kind words and well wishes from so many of you have meant more to me and Jill and our family than you can ever know.
Some days are better than others. It hasn't stopped me. But sometimes it slows me down. What that means is, unfortunately, I wonโt be able to do as many conversations about my book as Iโd hoped. However, Iโm hopeful the words on the page speak for themselves.
Looking forward, I'm going to keep following what my father told me a long time ago: "Champ, when you get knocked down, get up." It's a good lesson for me. And for America.
We are blessed. America is the most unique nation on earth. Unlike other countries, we're built on an idea. An idea bigger than any ocean. More powerful than any army. Stronger than any tyrant or dictator. That idea? All of us are created equal.
Promise Me, America, we'll never forget it.

America has been an independent nation since 1776. In 250 years, they apparently never figured out politics until Gachagua arrived to teach them the Ol Kalou method. You really cannot make this up.

A Kenyan man living with a disability sought to transform his daily mobility by importing a 2018 Range Rover Sport from Japan. Relying on statutory tax exemptions designed to ease transport barriers for persons with disabilities, he submitted his medical documentation, council registration, and formal exemption requests to the Kenya Revenue Authority. Instead of receiving clearance, however, he watched his vehicle remain stranded at the port.
Frustrated by what he described as demeaning conduct, shifting compliance demands, and informal solicitations for facilitation fees, the importer turned to the High Court in Awino v Commissioner General, KRA & 4 Others. Framing his suit around constitutional guarantees, he argued that the agencyโs prolonged inaction violated his fundamental rights to dignity, fair administrative treatment, and property ownership.
In defense, the tax authority maintained that high-value vehicle import exemptions demand rigorous vetting to safeguard public revenue against fraud and illicit proxy arrangements. During administrative interviews, revenue officers uncovered significant discrepancies regarding the applicantโs reported profession, declared earnings, and the ultimate source of funds used to purchase the luxury vehicle. Because correspondence was ongoing and critical financial records remained outstanding, the authority clarified that the petition had never been outright deniedโit was simply still under scrutiny.
Delivering judgment, the High Court declined to intervene, dismissing the petition and ordering the applicant to pay costs. The court affirmed that while constitutional petitions serve vital public-interest functions, they cannot be deployed prematurely to sidestep ordinary administrative and statutory mechanisms under customs law when a final decision has not yet been rendered. Furthermore, the court emphasized that grave allegations of official extortion and discriminatory abuse cannot rest on general assertions; without specific dates, identifiable officers, and contemporaneous evidence, such claims cannot stand.
