Raila threatens to instruct his political base not to pay taxes
Raila threatens to instruct his political base not to pay taxes if Ruto’s government sidelines Azimio counties.
Raila Odinga castigated William Ruto On Saturday, October 29 as he threatened to instruct his political base/supporters to stop paying taxes if his strongholds and other parts of the country will not experience development.
Raila said that development initiatives had to be evenly disseminated around the country, taking a jab at the current Kenya Kwanza administration.
Raila also wants governors from the Azimio counties not to be intimidated by the state, saying that the constitution protects them in undertaking their mandate.
The Azimio leader spoke in Manywanda village, Seme constituency, Kisumu county, during the burial of Mzee Peter Akoth, a member of the Luo Council of Elders.
“The national government has the responsibility to carry out certain development projects in all these areas otherwise, we shall tell our people to stop paying taxes. Therefore, we don’t have to go to beg the national government for us to get any development,” said Raila.
In addition, Raila assured his supporters that the journey to freedom is still on, and he is waiting for the ideal time when he will reveal the plan that was used to deny him victory on August 9.
“We know what happened, and we shall soon make it public. We are pretending like fools but be patient with me, but time is coming when we shall put everything bear,” he added.
Raila emphasized the importance of keeping up the fight for democratic changes even after losing the August 9 presidential election.
The former prime minister said he will soon return to the political scene to fight for a better Kenya despite the loss.
