Azimio said the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) being processed in Parliament is bad news.

Azimio la Umoja has warned of tough times claiming the Budget Policy Statement (BPS) being processed in Parliament is bad news.

Speaking on Thursday, the opposition said Kenyans should be ready for a new wave of taxation that worsens the situation in the country.

“If BPS is anything to go by, Kenyans must tighten their belts because Kenya Kwanza is coming for them in the new wave of taxation,” Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka said.

“We commit to reject any further taxation by this regime,” he added.

The former Vice President spoke after chairing the Azimio Summit meeting at Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Foundation (JOOF), Nairobi.

The afternoon meeting was attended by National Assembly Minority leader Opiyo Wandayi, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, former Presidential candidate George Wajackoya, ex-Governors Mwangi Wa Iria (Murang’a) and Nderitu Muriithi (Laikipia).
