Azimio leader Raila Odinga on Thursday launched a subtle attack on President William Ruto's tax regime by sharing a poem on Twitter suggestive of extreme tax measures. The piece titled "The Tax Poem" by an unknown author lists a number of unrealistic tax measures, including one on those who dare to think. "Tax his food, tax his drink, tax him if he tries to think," it says. Azimio under Raila's stewardship has vehemently opposed the proposed tax measures terming them oppressive. Ruto and his allies have, however, defended the proposed tax measures saying it's the only way Kenyans will free themselves from overreliance on debt.
