Sifuna promises tax cuts if Equitable Party wins 2027 election
They will be presenting to us a line by line analysis of where exactly this fat in our budget is so that we can not be accused of voodoo economics," Sifuna said as he outlined his agenda under the new outfit.
Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Interim Leader of The Equitable Party (TEP), has pledged significant tax cuts if his party secures victory in the 2027 election. Sifuna claims a team of experts has identified between 500 billion and 1.8 trillion shillings in budgeted corruption. The party intends to eliminate wastage and corruption in the national budget, potentially creating room to scrap the housing levy, VAT on fuel and electricity.
Sifuna anticipates this could enable the country to balance its budget within 15 months and reduce the government's reliance on domestic borrowing, thereby lowering the cost of living and addressing unemployment. The Equitable Party aims to demonstrate its economic program is based on detailed analysis and not "voodoo economics."
