The Azimio Brigade, led by Kalonzo Musyoka, has threatened to return to the streets if the Kenya Kwanza administration goes ahead with the new tax measures.
Musyoka asserts that they will mobilize Kenyans to start demonstrations across the country to force Kenya Kwanza to abolish implementations of the Finance Bill, which they argue will increase the price of essential commodities like bread.
"We cannot allow these punitive taxations that are choking Kenyans," added Kalonzo.
Kalonzo was accompanied by other Azimio leaders, including DAP Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa, as they attended Sunday church service in Embakasi East Constituency in Nairobi.
Wamalwa accused the government of disregarding Kenyans who are unable to afford a meal in a day due to the high cost of living.
"The Kenya Kwanza government has no clue about what Kenyans are going through in these hard times economically," said Wamalwa.
Elsewhere, Narc-K leader Martha Karua, speaking in Nakuru County, also criticized Kenya Kwanza’s proposals in the Finance Bill, which seeks to collect 300 billion shillings more through taxes.
"This is inhumane by the Kenya Kwanza administration. How on earth do they subject people to this much suffering?" pondered Karua.
