These MPs need to lead by example. If they expect all Kenyans to pay taxes, they should also do the same.
If not, Kenyans need to use the only known TRUE power we have over these MPs, VOTES. Lets get all MPs who have refused to pay taxes. That will be a very strong massage for future engagements with these individuals. Lets not get caught up in the business of taking money from them in exchange of votes. Take the money if you have to, but cast your vote wisely.

Paying taxes is fundamental; no one can claim to hide behind the constitution. If they insist that they are not going to pay, then Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) can wait for MP’s to leave office (be voted out) then sue them as ordinary citizens for back taxes and penalties.
