People’s Liberation Party leader Martha Karua has accused the government of overtaxing citizens while failing to address corruption, wasteful spending, and poor service delivery.
Speaking while unveiling what she calls a “Rescue Budget,” presenting it as a people-centered alternative to the Kenya Kwanza administration’s economic policies, Karua argued that Kenya’s economic challenges are not the result of insufficient revenue but rather poor leadership, fiscal indiscipline, and misplaced priorities.
“Kenya does not have a revenue problem. Kenya has sufficient resources to educate her children, provide healthcare, support farmers, build infrastructure and create opportunities for businesses. What Kenya lacks is disciplined, ethical and people-centered leadership,” Karua said.
