Azimio leader Raila Odinga has called on the government to stop increasing taxes.
The Azimio boss said tax increment will not solve the problem in the country.
"Increasing taxes is not the solution to the problem we are having, when you increase the taxes there is always the tendency to evade, people will evade taxes," he said.
Raila said the government should instead audit procurement officers in the ministries.
He said by auditing them, the government will generate revenue from them to boost the economy.
"Where the money is coming from and how the money is being spent, that is where there is a problem. The revenue, income tax, VAT customs boys, and procurement officers in the ministries, are the boys in town. They are the ones who are buying apartments in town, driving the latest models in town and building castles in the rural areas.
"If you do a lifestyle audit, you will catch them," Raila said.
The Azimio boss explained how he and the late former President Mwai Kibaki turned up the economy by auditing procurement officers.
"We have been here before, when we came into government in 2002, we found a collapsing economy, the economy was very poor. The members of the donor club had stopped funding. The collection was very low, we were collecting only Sh200 billion, and the growth rate was negative," he said.
The Azimio boss explained that after a careful evaluation of the revenue side and expenditure, they found that the "boys in town" were rich people.
He said they did a lifestyle audit and caught many corrupt officials who were sacked.
"We came into the office in January and between that time and June, the revenue went up by Sh100 billion. We were collecting Sh300 billion instead of the Sh200 billion that was collected the previous year."
The Azimio leader said they managed to collect increased revenue without adding taxes.
His sentiments come in the backdrop of the high cost of living in the country.
Kenyans have been raising concerns over the Kenya Kwanza administration's continued measures that have raised taxes for various commodities in the country.
The government has also been increasing the cost of certain services to raise revenue for the government.
This is despite a campaign on the platform of easing the tax burden for Kenyans, as well as the cost of living which they claimed had been raised by policies put in place by the former regime.
