I think we need to understand the definition of residency. It does not mean you have to be a permanent resident. There are a number of days in a year that if you stay in Kenya, then you are considered a resident person. If you have not stayed in Kenya for those number of days, then you are a non-resident, even when you carry out business activities. During that period that you are in Kenya and you are not a resident, then you become taxable. I guess that is what the Committee intends."}
