Speaking in Nairobi on Monday, Odinga argued that despite Ruto's promise to lessen the burden of low income earners, he has made the situation worse.
Additionally, he said Azimio lawmakers will not spare efforts to ensure President William Ruto's tax proposals under the Finance Bill 2023 which he labelled as"anti-people" do not sail through in the National Assembly. Odinga also called for reduction of domestic and international travel, conference and workshops, freezing of ministerial out of station allowances, ministerial house allowances and domestic allowance for cabinet and principal secretaries as well as effective anti-corruption efforts to tame wastage.
