Land Rights in Kenya: Land Rates and Taxes.

  in 2015 having been suspended in 1985. CGT is charged at the rate of 5% of the gain. There are various exemptions on CGT provided under the ITA. The tax on rental income is a tax arising from the gains and profits for occupation of property. The ITA provides for various ways of taxing rental income; Where the rent is payable to a non-resident, the tenant is required to withhold 30% of the rent and remit it to the Kenya Revenue Authority. The tax withheld is a final tax. Where the rent is payable to a resident, if the property is commercial, the tenant being an appointed agent, is required to withhold 10 % of the rent. The tax withheld is not a final tax and the landlord is required to file their income tax in the usual way. Where the rent is payable to a resident and the property is residential, the landlord may opt to either pay a monthly rental income tax, computed at 10 % of the gross rent a (final tax) or pay the instalment tax and final income tax in the usual way.

Tales of the Much Dreaded Chicken Pill

Every culture has its idealized woman a standard of beauty that is sought and valorized everywhere around the world.Majority of the women are altering themselves to achieve the look that is celebrated, from cosmetics to liposuction.And because of that many  darkskinned females are applying skin lightening products so as to appear light skinned because that's what the society today valorized.Women seeking validation in the society which begs the question,Is the society responsible for what our women have become?

         It is the society beauty standards that has transformed into using all means to fit in the threshold.And this is a worrying trend.

In Jamaica, women have come up with some of their own unique, homegrown beauty enhancement techniques.The use of Chicken Pills.

It started from the country and now is spreading like bushfire with more women across the continent embracing it so as to get a  much more Afrocentric body type that is valorized.


What I find amazing is the degree to which the beauty chasers are  willing to  risk for the sole purpose of  conforming to the image that will make them feel celebrated.Be comfortable in your own skin.Remember you are wonderfully and fearfully made.

    I happened to be at the hospital around two weeks ago and saw 3 ladies in their early 20s.One abnormal  thing i noticed on one of the girls was her unusual big bum.I mean there is a big bum but then this one was way bigger.The 2 ladies assisted the 'big- bummed' take a sit at the patients bench i was sitting as i waited for my turn to go and see the doctor."Now see what you've done for yourself.I warned you from the start  of the side effects of that pill,"one of the lady who had accompanied the 'big-bummed'  scolded at her  in luo."Ok a winj ma ber,line ni ok sudi yawa.A regret marach[i'm not feeling well,the line is not moving i regret badly],said the lady writhing in pain.

      A standby nurse witnessed what was happening and passed by to ask what the problem was."Shida ni gani?"[what's the problem?]

"Huyu alitumia chicken pill.Uneza msaidia,[She used the infamous chicken pill.Can you assist her]"one of the ladies who had accompanied her answered."I ni side effects ya kutumia that,mbebe adi kwa room 07 kisha mutapata daktari,[These are the side effects,carry her till room 07,you'll see the doctor]"the nurse told them.They proceeded to carry her.I felt pity for the young lass.As sombre thoughts were flooding  my mind,i felt a pat on my shoulder.I looked up,"Hey,it's your turn,"a woman with chubby cheeks and that keri hilson smile told me.I entered the room.

       Now onto the main story.Chicken pill has always been used by farmers on their chicken with the sole purpose of making them grow faster.The chicken pill is made up of hormones that alter growth  hormones in chicken and also human beings.That's why farmers use the pill.Like any other pill,the chicken pill has its side effects.The side effects manifest with time.What worries me more is after farmers continue adding chicken pill to the chicken feed,the pills hormones continue to pile up in the chickens  body.Once the chicken is sold and consumed, the piled up hormones now transfer into the human system and you know what that means.I think farmers sold the idea to desperate ladies who needed to get that 'coca-cola' shape.

URGENT APPEAL:I am collecting funds for my airfare to study in Germany

        Arsenic found to be in the pill is known to cause cancer.Long period consumption of the pill eventually leads to higher levels of arsenic in the  body which eventually leads to cancer.Ladies,it's better to use padded underwears instead of pills to fix your derriere

       Dear ladies,BE COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN SKIN AND BODY SHAPE
