Kenyans Lack the Consciousness it takes to Engineer Regime Change
A lot
of Kenyans have been expressing their displeasure with government’s intended
plan to tax them more through so called housing levy. As usual the people to be
worst hit by this planned tax hike are the perennial suspects that government
knows best how to tax - guys in formal employment. Government of Kenya does not
seem to have ever learned how to tax the people in so called informal sector,
such as ‘juakali,’ some of whom ironically earn better than many employed people. But then good thing with hitting this formally employed guys hard is
that they then start realizing that they need to do something about governance
in this country. These are guys who live in some “middle class bubble” and who
are largely cold and indifferent to the struggle for political change. Maybe
this continued squeezing will raise their consciousness and that they will at a
certain point join the majority poor to start pushing for real change. It is
clear that many people in this country know exactly what they don’t want yet
they seem to keep letting it done to them. They appear helpless because they
are oblivious of the power that they wield. They may need to be alive to the
fact that it is things such as over-taxation and high costs of living etc that
have caused turmoil from France to Sudan. They only need to know that actually
PEOPLE CAN AND DO EAT GOVERNMENTS. That is all we need and the inept Jubilee
administration which taxes and borrows only to steal will come down crumbling.
