Abdulswamad called on the government to first prioritize privatizing Kenya Airways, an agenda that they have said they are working on but are now pushing to fasten that of KPA as per the Governor.
According to the Governor, it is now evident that the government has no interest in the plight of Kenyans and that there ongoing taxation measures will one day turn on them.
He was speaking at the backdrop of high taxes in the country especially the recent hike in fuel prices and revelation that the government collects Ksh 79 from every liter of fuel sold.
