The Standard Group Plc is a
multi-media organization with investments in media platforms spanning newspaper
print operations, television, radio broadcasting, digital and online services. The
Standard Group is recognized as a leading multi-media house in Kenya with a key
influence in matters of national and international interest.
The government is selling Kenyans a lie, sugarcoated for elections. It says an “amendment” will exempt 1.5 million workers earning Sh30,000 and below from PAYE. Superficially, it sounds generous.
But the tax code exposes the truth: Kenyans earning below about Sh24,000 were already effectively PAYE-exempt through existing tax bands and personal relief. Nothing new has happened. This is rebranding, old policy dressed up as fresh generosity and political theatre.
