It was revealed that Dolly Parton was secretly battling cancer but she didn't say anything and instead released this song as one of her last to raise funds for children with cancer. Even while she was sick she was still thinking about others. I’m absolutely devastated.

PANEL ANNOUNCEMENT | Building Smarter, Building Faster: Innovative Pathways Increasing the supply of affordable homes is not only about building more. It is also about improving how homes are designed, financed and delivered. Long construction timelines, rising material costs, infrastructure constraints and inefficient building processes can make housing more expensive before a homeowner even enters the picture. Addressing these barriers requires practical innovations that reduce delivery time and costs without compromising quality, safety or sustainability. Beginning with a presentation on “The Business Case for Green Housing”, this session will explore how developers, housing institutions and industry leaders can adopt smarter construction methods, resource-efficient designs and scalable delivery models. The conversation will consider how innovation can help the sector build faster, manage costs and deliver greener homes that remain affordable throughout their lifecycle. Moderator: • Josea Cheruiyot - Ag. Head of Research & Strategy - KMRC Panellists: • Mina Stiernblad- Commercial Director, Unity Homes • Kioi Wambaa- Managing Director, International Housing Solutions (IHS) • Kelvin Waweru- Commercial Director, Mi Vida Homes Ltd • Hon.

KRA wants a share of dowry money. There is a guy called Kamau. When it was time to buy his wife, he mobilized his most monied buddies. He put them in a WhatsApp group. The fundraising began. Those boys were loaded. They were only 35. By by the time they were done, they had contributed 4.5 million shillings. Others who were not in the group wired money directly to Kamau's bank account. The ruracio D-Day arrived. And as always, the one and only Kikuyu ruracio anthem was tuned. 🎶 Wero... Werokamu guku kwa wa Kanini... Werokamu... 🎶 Before they could finish the song, more than 2,000 people had pulled up. Wakaanza kutoa funjo. Then one man stood on a stool and announced they could not sit until they had given Kamau top up money to add to the dowry. The donation book was hurriedly brought. People lined up. Cash started flowing. By the end of the day, another 2.8 million shillings had been raised. Kamau took the money and banked it. Total dowry contribution sitting at his bank account: 8m shillings. The ceremony became the talk of Gatundu South. Kamau paid his dowry. Collected his wife. And went home peacefully. • Lesson 1. Monied friends are good for paying dowry. I have no clue how. But sometime later, Kamau was marked for a KRA tax audit. KRA went straight for his bank statements. They found deposits of 8 million shillings. Immediately, they baptized the entire amount as undeclared taxable income. Then demanded: 30% income tax. Penalties plus interest. Total bill: 2.5 million shillings plus. When Kamau saw the tax bill, he went mad. He could try to talk but words would not come out. He nearly swallowed his tongue. When he came back to real life. He shipped a protest letter to KRA. He explained the money was dowry contribution from his family, friends and well wishers. - He produced WhatsApp group fundraising screenshots. - He produced RTGS confirmations. - He produced the donation book. - He even produced videos of the ceremony. Including footage of the Werokamu song. KRA could not hear any of it. They only wanted 2.5 million. When Kamau realized KRA was not playing, he ran to court. He told the Tribunal: - My lord, look. I have shown KRA where the money came from. - I have shown KRA who contributed it. - I have shown KRA the ceremony. - What more do they want from me? KRA responded. And what they said nearly made the judges fall off their chairs. They argued the evidence was not convincing. Why? • Because the 2,000 plus donors had not sworn affidavits confirming that the money they gave was a donation and not payment for goods or services. The Tribunal looked at the matter in amusement. Then ruled. - Kamau had discharged his burden of proof in full. - KRA had acted unreasonably by ignoring and disregarding the substantial evidence he provided. - And most importantly: Income tax is a tax on income. It is not a tax on every deposit appearing in a bank account. The Tribunal found that KRA was wrong to treat all bank deposits as taxable income without first removing proven non income items such as dowry contributions. The tax demand was killed. Kamau won. KRA retreated to Times Tower. And rested. Case closed. • Lesson 2. - Document everything. - KRA will push. Push hard.
