“We also remain opposed, deeply, to the idea of subjecting farm produce to taxation. It is our position that forcing farmers to part with Ksh5 for every Sh100 they make from their farm produce is unreasonable and cruel. We encourage our farmers to resist this tax,” Azimio stated.
The Raila Odinga-led coalition also urged President William Ruto to rein in National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, Senate Speaker Amason Kingi, and a section on Executive members over plans to undermine the NADCO report.
Azimio claimed that the leaders have demonstrated an intention to derail the NADCO report.
“Those leaders have clearly demonstrated a determination to delay, derail or even kill the NADCO report, which is a negotiated document that pulled the country out of hostilities to the peace that obtains today.
Nobody should take the present situation as a given or for granted,” Azimio stated.
