Dear All
See, http://www.standardmedia.co.ke/InsidePage.php?id=2000026187&cid=4&
These are the fruits of working in unity. For those who were involved in the preparation and final processing of the petition we appreciate your work. Many thanks to Dr. Shem Ochuodho, Peter Makori, Lister Nyaringo, Alex Momanyi and those who helped during the preparative stages of the document. I say keep the good work. Now we must not let off until the diaspora is given the right representation. We must not assume it is already done until it is actually done.
Thanks a bunch, team.
I have not seen the petition so I will refrain from making specific comments. I must state that I am very proud of those who take time to make our country better.
My question at this stage is that though we transmit lots of money to our loved ones and friends living in Kenya, a voluntary exercise, can we build a modality for Kenyans in diaspora to be taxed to make our contribution mandatory. We want to remain truly integrated in our communities I suggest some form of taxation will not be asking for too much.
