Walking with donkeys for whatever distance is not an easy task. It is less complicated than a rural boy learning to ride a bicycle in a village where such a device is a novelty, only seen when dignitaries came calling.
Peers agree that Prof Charles Odidi Okidi was not an ordinary boy and were not shocked that he mastered the two feats at quite an early age. And obstinate he was!
How else would one describe a boy who could persuade a heard of donkeys to neigh and bray their way from Karachuonyo, Homa Bay County to Kisii only to exchange them for basket full of cereals.

NSSF, NHIF dues to be remitted on single date to tame non-compliant employers

Summary
The changes are aimed at supporting a smooth implementation of a unified payroll system which the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) recently rolled out for joint declaration and payment of the three deductions as well as Pay-As-You-Earn (PAYE).
This will be a departure from the current practice where NSSF and NHIF deductions are submitted by the 15th and the 9th of every month, respectively while training levies are remitted on the 10th day of every month.
The portal will allow all the four institutions to monitor statutory payments coming from each employer, making it easier to analyse, reconcile and pick out non-compliance.
