dear all,
today I went to the county director of education at the advice of a
friend to get a letter from him confirming my disability. as I sat
waiting for him, several questions raced through my mind and which I
would like us to ponder through with a view to coming up with a common
position:
firstly, do we really have to renew these tax exemption certificates
after a given period now that most of our disabilities are permanent
and are not bound to change. one might argue and say that it is
formality. fine, I agree but are these records not with our employers,
the council and even KRA. why the repetition.
secondly, it interests me that there does not seem to be existing a
common position or direction regarding exactly how to go about the
renewal if we have to do it. four different people, even from the very
council itself will have different stories about how to renew your
certificate. is it not funny that such an important piece of
information is not accessible even at the council website. surely,
something should be done.
i feel so frustrated with this whole process considering that
travelling to Nairobi from upcountry is becoming a nightmare.
i wish that we discuss this matter and possibly advise both the
council and the revenue authority on the best way of making this
process less straining to those with disability whom it ought to be
relieving.
thank you all.
