Mwaure to Subsidize Tax by 50% once Elected

Agano Party presidential candidate David Mwaure Waihiga has promised to subsidize tax pay by 50 per cent, as a moderation to lower the cost of living for Kenyans should he be elected president in the August 9 general election.

Speaking during the presidential debate on Tuesday, July 26, at the Catholic University of Eastern Africa, Mwaure said the government collects approximately KSh40 billion in tax revenue, which the Agano Party administration under his stewardship will curtail by half.

“We will implement a subsidy on basic food commodities. I applaud President Uhuru Kenyatta for doing so with maize meals, but more can be done. We will also reduce tax payments by 50 per cent,” Waihiga Mwaure said.

He also said that approximately Sh20 trillion is being held offshore. This, he says, is money that, if brought back to Kenya, can help build the nation.

“Money illegally obtained is stashed in offshore accounts, and I am not talking about personal accounts.”

“Sh215 billion from Eurobonds cannot be accounted for, Kenyan money is being used to develop other nations.” “This is immoral,” he added.

On the issue of unemployment, Mr. Waihiga said he plans to empower devolved governments that work closely with Wananchi.

“We will ensure that at least KSh50 million goes to devolved governments to help create job opportunities.”

“We want to involve the chiefs, Nyumba kumis because it is at this level that we will be able to get employment ideas from Mwananchi. And that is not all. “

“We also have a plan to help finance start-ups by the youth,” he said.

In the health sector, Waihiga promised to unleash level five hospitals in every county as a way of expanding health services to Kenyans.

“We will give enough money to the health sector. We’ve talked about

“There will be at least a five-level hospital in every county, and in it, we will demand that there be a department of mental health,” he promised.
