Editor's Review

DP Gachagua on Sunday stated that the Kenya Kwanza supporters have majority shares in the government and therefore should be the first beneficiaries before those who supported Azimio.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has weighed in on Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s remarks that the Kenya Kwanza government will only favor those who voted for them.

In a tweet on Monday, February 20, Sifuna slammed Gachagua noting that all Kenyans pay tax to the government.

The ODM secretary General argued that Azimio should create its own revenue authority for its supporters to stop paying taxes to the Kenya Kwanza government.

“According to Gachagua the K in KRA stands for Kenya Kwanza. We need our own revenue authority to channel our taxes; A Peoples Revenue Authority. PRA can then sit with KRA to discuss a refund of all Azimio supporters' taxes paid to the illegitimate KK Gove,” Sifuna stated.

DP Gachagua on Sunday stated that the Kenya Kwanza supporters have majority shares in the government and therefore should be the first beneficiaries before those who supported Azimio.

"This Government is like a company guaranteed by shares. There are those with many shares and those with few shares. Therefore those who voted for us and supported us must enjoy the benefits first," Gachagua said.

National Assembly Deputy Speaker Gladys Boss Shollei has defended the Deputy President saying his remarks have been taken out of context.
