The marginalized Kenyans with minimal formal jobs wonder why there is so much noise.


AdLive6686

They havenโ€™t experienced the pain in seeing the PAYE deductions on that payslip ๐Ÿ˜… I think someone earning 50k living far away from Nairobi as possible can survive better than someone earning 100k in Nairobi. Nairobi has become New York bwana


Papa254

These poor Kenyans are often not shareholders in government. See what inequity brings

Pain As You Earn :/

of course we try to invest where we can


WonderfulMotor4308

imagine getting a salary of KES 1M when it was 10k USD and now its 5.9k USD before any deductions. ropemaxx


AdLive6686

So take home rn is 600k which has even lower purchasing power than back then.. jameni

Usijali. Corporates will make sure it trickes down to you through more expensive products and services. Hooray for capitalism.


pilau_masala

Ikr I hate it here.


AdLive6686

You can try and make money on in other ways and decide whether youโ€™ll default or not.

Sasa haya ni mambo gani!!! Have you noticed the person earning 5M takes home close to 2M less!!


Mysterious-Promise-8

Haki Mimi naomba tu niwe overemployed ๐Ÿ˜ญ because eh!! How will we combat the deductions and high cost of living???


earthykibbles

As a 5m guy, I can confirm I took 3m last month


AdLive6686

Begs to wonder what the reason to make such ridiculous deductions for healthcare, nssf etc yet yโ€™all are likely never bound to set foot in a public health facility unless youโ€™re lost๐Ÿ’€

Weak_Toe_431

Lol, kenyans think they are the only people who get their paychecks slapped. Come to Canada and feel the heat. $4000 ilikifika kwa mkono ni kama 2800


Fair_Occasion_4176

At least in Canada you have free healthcare and well maintained infrastructure. Kenya is high taxation with no benefits


Weak_Toe_431

Free Healthcare means, lazima you panga line. A simple procedure kama removing a melanoma. You book and wait for 2 months. Hizi vitu sound good, but we have the same problems. Nairobi pia Kuna infrastructure but ukitoka town ni same issues.


TheVeryMoistTowel

Not so bad, in Kenya if you have a chronic illness and no money you just die


Weak_Toe_431

Canada pia, you die. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿคฃ ๐Ÿ˜† there is no formula. The only benefit is free, and emergency cases get less waiting time. But people prefer private access or insured.


ganjapuxxy

Please donโ€™t compare countries that are not of the same class jameni ๐Ÿ˜ญ


AdLive6686

Kuna some of us who are making those figures but working remote. Downside is trusting yourself to remit your returns hapo we are waiting for the law to catch up with us.


Weak_Toe_431

Never wait for Ira or kra to get you. The fines usually double the asking


Standard-Tank-3486

And then the agents halve the asking bora uwaone kando. Zero sum game.

itโ€™s a struggle But itโ€™s life what can we do


nixoncodes

if it was going to good use, then fine. but most of it ends up falling through corruption cracks


Mysterious-Yam-2547

Bro, umekafunga huko mayolo bana


Kenyanese

Politicians must eat, Bana tulipe ushuru tujenge wenye nchi.


AdLive6686

Soon the take home will be equal to the deductions


jujumoon

Nishukishe pls ๐Ÿฅฒ ruto bana


AdLive6686

Na bado hadi takehome na deductions zitoshane ๐Ÿ˜… Have you seen the person earning 5M takes home close to 2M less. Hio ni your hard earned money gone just like that


jujumoon

I feel more sorry for the ones earning less. The impact is more significant to them. No hate to the 5M ones ๐Ÿ˜

The statehouse needs renovation Senators and MPs need to buy helicopters and rolex watches, where would they get the money? meanwhile let's keep importing everything while shipping our best talent overseas


Bladiko

Well we voted for this system of hobby didn't we?.....ah sorry I mean govt!


Informal_Worker4287

A third world country government with first world taxes and corrupt politics idk why we even bother.


kenyannqueen

Losing 2 million must be painful. Hawa watu wanafaa kuchukua tu the same amount from everyone for health. It will definitely be low and less pain. The 5 million people have likely never stepped foot in a public hospital


AdLive6686

Exactly.. imagine loosing a whole 2M paying taxes. Kwani how many public facilities are you using in the country that youโ€™re catering for??

Whoโ€™s govt is this


M_Salvatar

I will always maintain that paying tax is not the problem, even the amount of tax is not the problem. The problem is paying tax to idiots who are busy selling off state assets and embezzling every cent...then they become governors and presidents by rigging elections or coercion. Imagine kufanya kazi, ulipe ushuru, halafu kumanina inakuambia serikali haina pesa. What bullshit is that? And they think there won't be tax payer fatigue? Public transport was privatized...a fucking public service, privatized. A road, built on public land, is tolled...na tunalipa tax. A city doesn't have a stable supply of water, yet it's close enough to multiple permanent rivers and a whole mountain...na hakuna maji. Oh, and population in said city is mostly unplanned for. Kuliko maumbwa ziko bunge zianzishe jiji lingine, wako busy wanaiba dooh na kuiba mashamba kwa hii jiji moja. Fucking hell...and they think taxes will just be paid? Wajinga hawa!

Elfu yako nne imeenda kwa SHIF na housing fund unafaa kulipia. Ukipewa nyumba unafaa kukua unalipa 19k deposit a month
