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.”
“They (team of
experts) are telling me that it is possible to have a balanced budget in 15
months by doing certain specific things. Number one, they can cut from the
budget between Ksh.500 billion and Ksh.1.8 trillion in wastage, and we can go
line by line and say this is where the wastage is. You can remove VAT on fuel,
you can remove the housing levy, you can reduce VAT on electricity,” said
Sifuna.
