Presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot has promise to reduce the burden of taxation if elected to power come August.
Aukot, who is vying on the Thirdway Alliance party, said this on Saturday when he launched his manifesto.
"We will reduce the tax burden for low income earners, expand individual tax bands and set minimum taxable income at above Sh30,000. I will abolish VAT and replace it with Sales Tax capped at 3 per cent," he said.
Together with his running mate Emmanuel Nzai, Aukot proposes a raft of radical strategies which he says will help make life easier for majority of poor Kenyans.
"This will not only increase household disposable income, lower cost of goods and increase the purchasing power of Kenyans, but also spur economic growth," added the presidential hopeful.
He also promised to help improve the education sector, an area that has also been the main highlight for the NASA and Jubilee Party leaders.
"We promise to abolish fees at all levels in public schools, colleges and universities. To boost academic levels in our schools, we shall make it compulsory requirement for all public servants to enroll their children in public schools," he said.
The Thirdway Alliance in its blue-print has innovative solutions to tackle the runaway corruption in the country, and hopes to slay the dragon that has been a constant talk in the recent regimes.
Among the proposals the alliance has promised to implement include introduction of price capping of all public procurement of goods and services and making it mandatory for Government suppliers to declare all their payees.
