Ruto Cuts PAYE for Kenyans Earning Up to Ksh50,000, Boosting Take-Home Pay

President William Ruto has announced a major tax relief for Kenyans earning salaries up to Ksh50,000, reducing the Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE) rate from 30% to 25%. The proposals, which will be submitted to Parliament for approval, also include exempting citizens earning below Ksh30,000 from income tax entirely.

Speaking at State House, Nairobi, Ruto said the move aims to ease financial strain on low- and middle-income earners, with 1.5 million Kenyans expected to benefit. For a worker earning Ksh50,000, monthly take-home pay would rise by Ksh2,500, from Ksh35,000 to Ksh37,500, before other deductions. The government emphasizes fairness in taxation while reviewing additional statutory levies.

Elon Musk is worth Ksh.110.93 trillion ($852.5 billion);

If, purely in theory, he put all that wealth into financing Kenya’s national budget of KSh 4.2 trillion a year, he could run the country for about 26 years without collecting a single tax.

When someone, hypothetically, can afford to fund a country for a quarter of a century, what does happiness even mean to them?

Two Arrested with Live Ammunition on Garissa–Thika Highway Bus

Police have detained two individuals after discovering live ammunition in a passenger bus along the Garissa–Thika Highway in Kanyonyoo, Lower Yatta Sub-County, Kitui County. The seizure occurred during a multi-agency roadblock on Monday, February 2, 2026.

Officers found a backpack on a bus seat containing a black carrier bag wrapped in brown paper holding 30 rounds of live rifle ammunition. The National Police Service confirmed the cartridges were high-powered.

The suspects were taken to Kanyonyoo Police Station for processing and will face court arraignment. The vehicle and ammunition were secured as evidence. Authorities said the operation is part of ongoing efforts to curb illegal firearms and strengthen highway security nationwide.
