National Super Alliance flag bearer Raila Odinga has aired his opinion on how the government can reduce the high cost of living.
Odinga has been critical of the Jubilee regime over the rising cost of living.
While speaking on Monday during a tour of Machakos county, Raila said that government should look into reducing taxes in order to relieve Kenyans the burden of high cost.
“We need to immediately address the rising cost of living. The environment created by the high cost of living cannot allow people to be productive and the government should reduce tax. With the inflation rate reaching an all-time high, those hit hardest are low-income Kenyans," said Raila.
Raila who was accompanied by other NASA leaders criticised President Uhuru Kenyatta for letting Kenyans suffer a high cost of living.
Raila further affirmed that once a NASA government is in office, the cost of living will be reduced within the first three months.
