WHERE IS MY REBATE? While he appreciates the efforts the Kenya Revenue Authority is making to get all to pay tax, Stephen King’ori is disappointed that KRA is not as enthusiastic about paying those who qualify for refunds.
Since the 2005/06 financial year, he has heeded KRA’s call to promptly file tax returns and has in all those cases confirmed that he should be paid rebates, but nothing happens.
On all the occasions, he has personally handed in the documents at Times Tower, Nairobi. His contact is kmjoeking@yahoo.com.

PROJECT ABANDONED? The newly-constructed power line from Esibuye to Ematsuli in Emuhaya constituency has been lying idle for the past three months despite having been inspected and certified, Jonathan Angote reports.
As a result, he adds, transformers have not been installed so that would-be customers can be connected.
He fears that Kenya Power might have abandoned the project after the Rural Electrification Authority put up the power lines.
For explanation, Jonathan can be reached on Tel 0722674952 or Jonathanangote@yahoo.com.

KUDOS, NHIF STAFF. National Hospital Insurance Fund member Gamaliel Alukwe says he was pleasantly surprised recently when he called at the Fund’s office in Bandari Plaza at Westlands, Nairobi. The staff, contrary to his expectations on public service employees, he adds, were not only well-informed and cooperative, but also willing to go beyond call of duty to enable him to make amendments to his membership status. “It was done with the kind of courtesy that one hardly finds in most public offices. Kudos, NHIF!” His contact is algamalke@yahoo.com.

WAKE UP, MR MAYOR. Does Mombasa mayor Ahmed Mohdhar ever go on inspection tours of the resort town which has lately been swamped by filth? asks Francis Wafula. Says he:
“Dumpsites are springing up all over the place, including prime spots such Makadara Grounds in the town centre, and Kengeleni on Malindi Road. There is also a heap of litter at Majengo Market.
Illegal structures have also been put up at Kibarani. Are the leaders happy to preside over this mess?”

WE HAVE EXPLAINED. Multichoice has been in touch with customer Lewis Mwenda Aritho over his complaint about the Electronic Programme Guide (EPG), says general manager Stephen Isaboke. He adds: “We have since given him the necessary advice on the EPG issue. DStv is committed to providing quality service to all our subscribers.
Customers who have any enquiries can reach us directly on Tel 0711066000 or 4236000.”
Have an entertaining day, won’t you!
