He said Kenyans should keep their hopes alive because the government was making crucial decisions to ensure that every mwananchi could afford common household goods.

The second in command disclosed that he had a meeting with the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), and they agreed to collect taxes to the tune of KSh 3 trillion per year to fund government development projects.
