Nairobi Senator and Linda Mwananchi presidential aspirant Edwin Sifuna says he will reduce taxation, establish a national data bank of schools in Kenya and ensure hospitals are paid for services rendered within 30 days if elected President.

In an interview covering a range of issues, Sifuna declared President William Ruto a failure as he fired back at the Head of State, who has previously described him as being “empty.”
