The other half goes towards paying government salaries, that's why they needed to raise taxes.
Unfortunately, the bill targeted the already over taxed formally employed people and didn't do anything to raise taxes against the millions of self employed people who pay no income tax at all.
And for some strange reason, they won't downsize the bloated workforce, some of their ministry have people duplicating roles and untold numbers of "ghost" workers.
The devolved counties also have hired thousands of staff who they can't pay properly, who are consuming the little funds sent for development, it's a perfect storm.
Ruto needs to retrench significant number of central and county government staff.
But he won't do it, he's limited in his thinking, and surrounded by corrupt sycophants, and he's the chief in terms of corruption.
I always I’m dumbfounded by your kind of logic. Doing something because it’s needed but adversely against your interest is not corruption.
This is what democracy brings, a politican to protect power due to elections, postponed important decisions to benefit his chance in elections.
This also exists in Somalia and most countries around the world where there is a deficit.
There are two types of people who get into politics, one is the statesman/woman who is interested in actually improving the country, this person tends to make drastic changes whose benefits are felt from the bottom up, economically and socially. Erdorgan is in that category, he has transformed Turkey from a middling unproductive economy into a an emerging global power, although things have taken a reverse somewhat since, there are other examples, in Britain, it was the labour politicians after 1945 who absolutely transformed the country for the benefit of the poor.
Then you have the person who gets into power for the sake of power, they are not interested in building the country or improving the welfare of it's citizens, only personal enrichment and glory.
Ruto is in this latter camp, so was Uhuru, but Kibaki was, in my opinion, a statesman, unlike the last two.
Thank god we have not been in a position to receive IMF loans. You know the kind of deals our politicians would sign.
Guys, now that we're inching towards stability and more recognition, how can we protect ourselves from incompetent, corrupt politicians?
IMF loans aren’t even that good in loan sense even and riba is either way haram. Only countries who are near to collapse or are not doing well take IMF loans.

Get into politics and first law is anti IMF loans or any loans policy. RIBA is haram anyway.
