Monday, October 23, 2023 – Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has asked Kenyans not to pay the new taxes introduced by President William Ruto’s regime.
Speaking at a roadside rally in Kajiado County on Sunday, Raila who is also the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader, slammed a recent decision by the Kenya Revenue Authority(KRA) to send tax compliance officers with paramilitary training to every doorstep to smoke out tax cheats.
“If the KRA people come to your homes demanding taxes, kick them out and tell them there’s no money. Let them go collect taxes from Ruto,” Raila said
The opposition leader called for the government to reduce the tax on fuel from the current VAT of 16% to 8% and reinstate all the subsidies on fuel and food products.
He stressed that the cost of living, among other key issues, must be addressed at the National Dialogue Committee.
“The cost of living must be lowered and electoral justice granted. It’s crucial that all Kenyans are treated equally. When it comes to job opportunities, all youth should be given a chance, regardless of their tribal background,” he said.
