The Azimio coalition has criticised the government for imposing "unreasonable and unsustainable" taxes on Kenyans, saying they are hurting the economy and the livelihoods of the people.

The coalition, led by leader Raila Odinga, issued a statement after holding a summit on Tuesday, March 5, to discuss the state of the economy, the implementation of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report, and Odinga's bid for the African Union Commission chairmanship.
