Today I presided over the Kenya Revenue Authority 2014 Taxpayers Day. We gather on this day to celebrate the patriotism of our taxpayers, whose hard-earned shillings finance our country’s transformation and development. The patriot who pays his taxes, and contributes his shilling to our economic emancipation, is as much a shujaa as the most famous of our heroes. It is right that we celebrate these events together. I thank every Kenyan who pays tax for their contribution. I also extend my recognition to the National Treasury, and the Kenya Revenue Authority, for their prudent management of these funds. My Government is keenly aware of its obligations. Kenyans gave us the honour of their vote because they believed we would manage their resources competently. They believed that we would not give way to corruption, to waste, or to fraud. They wanted development and they trusted us to work with them to bring it. We dare not fail them. We will continue to rationalize Government spending by prioritising capital investment in education, health and social protection.
