Central Organization of Trade Unions Secretary-General has responded to controversial Blogger Cyprian Nyankudi’s post reporting him to Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

The KRA Commissioner-General Githii Mburu announced on Monday, November 8, that their officers would be trolling Kenyans on social media to single out individuals who display an exuberant lifestyle but pay little or no taxes. 

In response to the latest developments by KRA, Nyakundi posted a video of Atwoli with his wife Mary Kilobi cruising on a yacht.

“Hi KRACare kuna suspects hapa(here),” the caption read in part. 

In a quick rejoinder, Atwoli quickly told Nyakundi that the lifestyle could be his only if he focused on his future.

“Nyakundi, this might be you in future if only you focus on your life, and worked hard, and not waking up to troll others on social media. Envy is one of the 7 deadly sins,” Atwoli remarked.

The COTU secretary-general encouraged Nyakundi to work hard in life if he wanted a similar lifestyle.  

“I want you to live longer. Wacha wivu, amka asubuhi na mapema, chapa kazi. Alafu lipa ushuru.(Stop being jealous, wake up early in the morning and work hard. Also ensure you remit taxes).”

According to KRA Commissioner-General Githii Mburu, the agency has assigned a number of officers to spend time to social media scouting for wealthy persons whose tax records are not in line with what they showcase online.

"In the social media, we have some people posting some nice things. You would see some posting nice houses, cars, taking their families to nice places and so on. Here, we are not sleeping, when we see those, we see taxes.

"We have our officers looking, they have gadgets. They key in very quickly (the number plate) to check. We are working exceptionally hard," the KRA boss told the publication.
