Good morning
As the week comes to a close, Kenyans are still mourning the death of former education CS George Magoha who died on Tuesday 24th January.
Magoha has been eulogized by top politicians and leaders as an academic giant whose efforts in the education sector and beyond will always be remembered.
The family is yet to update Kenyans on the burial plans. Before Magoha’s demise, the family was planning for the burial of his brother which is scheduled for Saturday 28th January.
In other news, the Kenyan economy could be staring at a crisis after a fresh report revealed that wages and debt exceed the revenue collected by KRA leaving nothing for development.
The report further revealed that KRA is expected to collect KSh 2.4 trillion in the next financial year with the wage bill projected to hit KSh 1 trillion and KSh 1.4 trillion to be used for servicing debt in the 2022/2023 financial year.
The head of state William Ruto alongside his Deputy president Gachagua had earlier lamented about having inherited a dilapidated economy adding that Kenyans will have to dig deeper into their pockets before the government revives the economy.
