President William Ruto has been ordered to stop pursuing former First Lady Mama Ngina Kenyatta for unpaid taxes by Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
Ruto should honor Mama Ngina, according to Raila, for her role in the fight for independence.
“You are oblivious to Kenya’s origins. During the fight for independence, she was detained and imprisoned in Kamiti. She’s in her 80s; why are you criticizing her when she’s your grandmother’s age? Raila shown.
During a speech on Sunday at an Azimio rally in Kibra, Nairobi, the head of the opposition said that Mama Ngina responded to Kenya Kwanza leaders on Saturday because she was tired of the “insults” being leveled at her.
Raila remarked, “He talks about taxes every day, saying that there are those who are not paying what is owed to the country.”
The leader of Azimio also stated that the Kenya Revenue Authority, not Ruto or his deputy Rigathi Gachagua, is the entity required by law to collect taxes.
Let KRA handle its business. Keep politics out of the agency’s job. Zachayo the Tax Collector was not acting in the same manner as you are, according to the Bible, he said.
“Leave Mama Ngina alone. Leave Uhuru Kenyatta alone as well.
The former First Lady said that paying taxes is a need for everyone, large or small, during the opening of the Tewa Catholic Church in Mpeketoni, Lamu County, which she assisted in building.
“Whether you are big or small, paying taxes is a requirement. People must pay taxes based on their income, the speaker emphasized.
However, Mama Ngina argued that tax issues shouldn’t be made political and discussed in public by government representatives.
She explained, “This is because if you don’t pay, you should be sent to court.”
Politicians, according to Mama Ngina, spread lies to give the impression that they are in office.
