Daystar University co-founder passes on

Glory of Faye G. Smith, the wife of Prof. Don Smith passed on on Friday 6th October, 2023.
She was an amazing woman often in the background but the glue that held the family together and remained an indispensable part of the beginnings of Daystar University as an institution.
As the Co-founder of Daystar University, Faye epitomised the importance of living a life of faith and finishing well. She touched the lives of so many quietly and purposefully with love, care and music.
As we acknowledge who Faye was, the scripture passage in II Timothy 4:6-8 which talks about Paul’s perspective on death and his confidence in receiving a crown of righteousness from the Lord, gives us a reason to celebrate her life.
She was the loving wife and ministry partner to Prof. Donald K. Smith since 1950. Mother to Dr. D. Vance Smith and Dr. Julisa Rowe. Mother-in-Law to Lucia Smith and Bill Rowe. Grandmother to Olivia Smith, Kendall Rowe and Nathaniel Rowe.
In her honor, contributions can be made to her missionary work as well as to a scholarship fund for music students considering that music was her passion in life. The Mpesa Paybill is 4084015, Account: Faye Smith.
The Memorial Service will be held at the Daystar University Nairobi Campus Auditorium on Wednesday 11th October at 6:00pm.
The Funeral service and burial will be held at the Daystar University, Main Campus in Athi River, on Saturday 14th October 2023 starting at 9:00am. The service will stream on Daystar University Live YouTube channel.

We are not taxing till numbers – KRA

The public is being cautioned by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) about a widely shared post on the internet that purports to show that the taxman is now looking into Till numbers.
KRA made it clear in an official statement on X that these allegations are wholly untrue and advised the public to be caution when it comes to possible fraud.
“Not true. Till numbers are NOT subject to taxation, and KRA does not collect any such taxes. Beware of fraudsters purporting to do any of the above.”
The revenue authority directed citizens to verify KRA staff by dialling *572# or through their official website https://bit.ly/3W0Wvup
In September, the government proposed amending the Data Protection Act of 2019 to exclude KRA from its regulations, aiming to facilitate access to information.
The proposed change was to empower the tax agency to retrieve data from Kenyan citizens, including real-time details of financial transactions conducted through mobile money.

Tragic explosion in Mexico leaves Kenyan man in a coma

A Kenyan man residing in Mexico is currently fighting for his life following a devastating explosion.
The precise whereabouts and origin of the blast are presently undisclosed, along with any knowledge of additional casualties.
It has been reported that the man, identified as Francis Kamau Chege from Kiambu County, Kenya, is currently in an induced coma. Regrettably, he was left unattended at the medical facility for several days, as his relatives were unaware of the incident until they unexpectedly came across pleas for aid on social media.
Chege’s girlfriend, who initially shared the details on the internet, had sought assistance to notify his parents and other kin.
Chege’s family from Githunguri, Kiambu County has expressed their deep appreciation to the online community for spreading the important news.
They are relieved that his severe burn injuries have promptly been brought to their attention. Meanwhile, they have reached out to his girlfriend and the relevant authorities as efforts are being made to contact officials in Washington for urgent assistance.
Mexico does not have a Kenyan embassy and instead depends on the embassy located in the capital of the United States. The family is thankful for the swift dissemination of this vital information. Activist Simon Mwangi draws attention to a series of explosions that have taken place in Mexico recently.
These explosions have been triggered by gas-related incidents and natural disasters caused by volcanic activity.
“Thank you for speedy sharing, the father and brother have reached out. We have notified the contacts in Washington for a quick response. Be blessed good people,” activist Simon Mwangi wrote.
