Orange Democratic Movement(ODM) Narok County Senator Ledama Olekina on Monday took to his Twitter handle suggest a recommendation he opined would secure the future of Kenyans.
The Senator, who is a member of the Senate County Public Accountant and Investment Committee, wrote that he would table a bill to parliament that mandates all Kenyans to save 40 per cent of their earnings.
Branding it an initiative to secure the future of Kenyans the senator said that the amount is to be untaxed and kept in a special government fund.
"Enough is Enough! We must change the future of Kenya. Every Kenyan must be guaranteed for a future. To do so, I shall introduce a bill in parliament, which mandate every Kenyan to save 40% of their earnings (untaxed) in a special Government fund & do away with the tax on capital gains," he said.
He insinuated that the government should curb unemployment gaps and consider Kenyans without skills through offering them free vocational training adding that it will promote self-reliance among Kenyans.
"For those who don’t work, we pay for their training until they get a job!! we must now build our Human Resource & Create Jobs for our Citizens! Watch this space! Inculcate self-reliance through work, not welfare," he added.
Giving a solution of the risen debt, Olekina said that the government should stop focusing on foreign aids once they consider a special saving kitty for Kenyans and that they should borrow internally from the Kenyans kitty to pursue their developmental agenda.
"Once the Fund is in place, the Government can borrow from it and pay for development projects & stop borrowing from foreign countries!! Citizens can also use their credit towards buying their own homes regardless of their contributions. Whatever is not utilized earns an interest," he concluded.
