Bomet Green Stadium was calm and lively until a touching moment unfolded. A student, reportedly sponsored in school by Ngong, stepped onto the stage holding a photo of Ngong alongside Oscar Kipchumba Sudi. Overcome with emotion, she broke down in tears after realizing Sudi was not present—an emotional scene that moved the entire crowd to tears. Hopefully, she will get the chance to meet him soon.

The Kenya Revenue Authority has scrapped the long-standing requirement for filing Nil Returns, introducing a new category known as “PIN with No Obligation” (PWO) to simplify compliance for individuals without taxable income.

Under this revised system, those registered under PWO — such as students and others who only need a KRA PIN to access services like higher education funding — will no longer have to submit annual tax returns, eliminating a process many considered unnecessary.

KRA stated that the move is intended to improve the accuracy of the taxpayer register while accommodating individuals who are not engaged in income-generating or taxable activities but still require a PIN.

Those interested in registering for the PWO category can do so عبر the iTax portal using just their national ID.

However, the authority cautioned that individuals under the PWO category who later start earning income must update their PIN status and begin filing returns annually, failing which they risk penalties of Ksh2,000 or five percent of the tax due, whichever is higher.

KRA also noted that a process to allow existing PIN holders to transition to PWO status is still being developed. This change comes as the agency ramps up its compliance efforts ahead of the June 30, 2026 tax returns deadline.

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, outlined a series of major development projects being implemented by the National Government in Tharaka Nithi County during a visit to Kaanwa in Chuka Igambang'ombe Constituency.

Speaking after inspecting ongoing works in the constituency, the Deputy President revealed that road construction projects covering 412 kilometers are underway at a cost of KSh21 billion. He added that the Nithi Bridge project will cost KSh7 billion, while rural electrification initiatives valued at KSh1 billion are also in progress across the county.

Kindiki further noted that housing and market infrastructure are key priorities, with Affordable Housing, fresh produce markets, and student accommodation projects collectively costing KSh7 billion currently being implemented.

On healthcare, the Deputy President said Taifa Care has recorded significant uptake in the region, placing Tharaka Nithi among the top five counties in registration. He disclosed that about 70 percent of residents have already enrolled in the programme, which has so far registered over 30.2 million Kenyans nationwide—up from the 7 million previously covered under the now-defunct National Hospital Insurance Fund.

He emphasized that the programme is aimed at shielding Kenyans from high medical costs that often force families to sell property or rely on public fundraisers to access treatment.

Following the project inspections, Kindiki held a public sensitization forum at Kaanwa Trading Centre, where he updated residents on ongoing government programmes and their expected benefits to the local community.

The Deputy President was accompanied by Tharaka Nithi Governor Muthomi Njuki, Deputy Governor Nyaga Muisiraeli, Woman Representative Susan Ngugi, Members of Parliament Patrick Munene and Kareke Mbiuki, County Assembly Speaker John Mbabu, Members of the County Assembly, and other local leaders.
