Agano presidential candidate David Mwaure has promised a 50 per cent tax waiver for salaried Kenyans should he win the August polls.
Mwaure who was on the campaign trail in Muranga county on Thursday said he will lower the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax by half.
"Those earning Sh35,000 will go home with an extra Sh3,ooo since there will be reduced charges," he added.
He insinuated that those earning Sh25,000 and below will enjoy 100 per cent waiver.
"If you elect me I will waiver 50 per cent of PAYE, so that those earning Sh25,000 can take all of it without any deductions."
Mwaure said the country has lost trillions of shillings in the hands of "bad" leaders and needed an emergency intervention to help Kenyans with the high cost of living.
The Agano party presidential candidate said he will make new appointments in the country and bring the change Kenyans desire.
"People of this country are very broke and what has lacked is good leaders who can protect the resources and provide better services to citizens," Mwaure said.
He said the forthcoming general elections "should be different where Kenyans can put right leaders into leadership.”
During the presidential debate in which he featured alone after George Wajackoyah snubbed the event, Mwaure said it was unfortunate that 59 years after Independence, Kenyans cannot still afford meals.
"The cost of living is unbearable and levels of unemployment remain at an all-time high," he said.
Mwaure noted that Asian nations that attained self-rule around the same time as Kenya have become economic giants.
“The next president must be a new person and that is how I come in as a man of the cloth,” he said.
