Party Manifesto
As a people-centered, prosperity-driven political movement, the People’s Prosperity Party (PPP) is committed to the following :
1. Tax Reduction
PPP will lower the cost of living and restore purchasing power by reducing personal income tax, lowering VAT on essential goods and services, stabilizing corporate tax to give businesses predictability for investment and cash-flow planning, and removing punitive digital taxes that discourage youth innovation and MSME growth.
Our approach grows revenue through higher incomes and broader formalization, not through suffocating tax rates that shrink enterprise and consumer demand.
ii. Fight Against Corruption:
We will move from reactive enforcement to prevention by design through full digitalization of government services, automated procurement systems, a single transparent government payments gateway, and real-time public finance dashboards. Mega-corruption cases will be re-opened and concluded impartially, with forensic recovery of stolen assets wherever they are hidden. When systems are transparent and traceable, impunity ceases to be a strategy and becomes a risk.
iii. Dealing with Unemployment
Job creation will be anchored in production and value addition, not temporary schemes. TVET and digital skills will be aligned to industry demand and linked to placements, incubation, and enterprise finance. Youth will transition from casual labour into structured employment and ownership across reorganized value chains, with sports, the creative economy, and the digital economy treated as formal job-creating sectors.
iv. Reducing Cost of Living
Our Mantra is ‘Pesa Mfukoni, Chakula Mezani’ Meaning that our measures will increase incomes and put food on the table for the majority of marginalized and excluded Kenyans.
PPP will lower the cost of living by restoring purchasing power and reducing the everyday burdens facing households. We will reduce VAT on essential goods and services, cut personal income tax to leave more money in workers’ pockets, and stabilize corporate tax to lower production costs that are passed on to consumers. By removing punitive digital taxes and lowering the cost of connectivity, we will unlock cheaper access to services and income opportunities for youth and MSMEs.
We will tackle the root causes of high prices by re-engineering value chains in food and essentials through local aggregation, storage, processing, and fair market systems to curb middlemen mark-ups and post-harvest losses. Investments in cold chains and logistics will stabilize food supply and prices across seasons. Clean, affordable energy will lower production and transport costs, while decisive action against corruption and market cartels will stop hidden taxes that inflate prices.
v. Re-engineering Value Chains
PPP will reorganize Kenya’s key value chains; agriculture, fisheries and the blue economy, mining, manufacturing, MSMEs, the digital economy, sports, and the creative industries so that producers and workers retain a fair share of value. We will invest in aggregation centers, cold storage, local processing, cooperative marketing, logistics, standards, and branding so communities sell products, not distress produce. This is how productivity becomes income and growth becomes household prosperity.
vi. Reducing Poverty and Inequality
Kenya is one of the most unequal countries in the world and the gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen. PPP plans to significantly bridge this gap.
PPP will confront poverty and inequality at their roots by redesigning the economy so those who create value are the first to benefit from it. We will re-engineer value chains across agriculture, fisheries, mining, manufacturing, MSMEs, the digital economy, sports, and the creative industries to raise incomes at the base through local processing, fair contracting, cooperative marketing, and transparent pricing. By expanding affordable credit, skills linked to jobs, and access to markets for women, youth, and special interest groups, we will broaden ownership of productive assets and income streams beyond a narrow elite.
We will protect households from poverty traps through universal healthcare, free primary and day-secondary education, and targeted social protection for the most vulnerable, while lowering the cost of living to stretch incomes. Corruption and market cartels that siphon resources from communities will be dismantled through digital governance and strict enforcement. Our goal is shared prosperity: fewer working poor, narrower income gaps, and an economy where growth is felt in homes, not just reported in statistics
vii. Reducing Kenya’s External Debt
By re-engineering Kenya’s main value chains and bring more people into the income and tax brackets, we will end chronic deficits by expanding the tax base through higher incomes, sealing fiscal leakages via digital systems, and borrowing only for self-financing projects. A comprehensive legal audit of public debt will restore fiscal credibility and protect future generations from the burden of non-productive borrowing.
viii. Improving the Business Operating Environment
PPP will simplify regulation through a single digital business permit, stabilize taxes for planning certainty, reduce compliance costs through at-source digital collection, protect small digital earners, and lower the cost of connectivity so innovation converts into jobs. Kenya must become predictable, pro-enterprise, and fair.
ix. Rule of Law
We will insulate investigations and prosecutions from political pressure, strengthen evidence-led case building, and reduce discretion through digital governance. Predictable justice and non-negotiable enforcement are foundational to investment, trust, and social stability.
x. Addressing Income Inequality
Inequality in Kenya is structural. PPP will reduce it by redesigning value chains so producers and MSMEs earn more, broadening ownership of productive assets, lowering barriers to credit and markets, and cutting corruption leakages that benefit a few at the expense of many. Quality jobs, not just job counts will anchor inclusive growth.
xi. Education
We will guarantee free primary and day-secondary education, strengthen TVET and applied technical training, expand digital inclusion, and link learning to placements and enterprise incubation so education converts into income and mobility.
xii. Health
PPP will provide universal healthcare which will protect households from catastrophic costs, improve productivity, and expand preventive and primary care so health becomes a foundation for development, not a driver of poverty.
xiii. Enhancing Access to Credit
PPP will expand affordable finance through cooperatives, SACCOs, credit guarantees, blended finance for MSMEs, and targeted instruments for women and youth to unlock enterprise growth, ownership, and resilience.
xiv. Women’s Economic Empowerment
PPP will place women at the center of inclusive finance, enterprise growth, and economic leadership by scaling women-led SACCOs and cooperative finance as engines of ownership, savings, and affordable credit. We will recapitalize and professionalize SACCOs, integrate them into national credit guarantee schemes, and design targeted financial products so women can access patient capital for agriculture, MSMEs, processing, trade, and services, enabling a shift from survival activities to bankable enterprises and asset ownership.
PPP will fully implement the two-thirds gender rule across public appointments, cooperative and SACCO leadership, and value-chain institutions to guarantee women meaningful representation and voice in economic decision-making. To expand markets for women traders and producers, PPP will promote e-commerce through free or affordable public Wi-Fi in markets and trading centers, alongside training in digital marketing, payments, and logistics. Finance will be paired with market access and skills, while public procurement and supplier development will grow women-owned businesses, raising household incomes and strengthening community resilience.
xv. Youth Empowerment Through Sports And ICT
PPP will transform sports and ICT into structured, job-creating economic sectors for youth, moving them from talent and hustle to stable livelihoods and ownership. We will professionalize community and school sports through local leagues, talent academies, and county-based sports hubs linked to sports science, coaching, physiotherapy, nutrition, and sports management.
Dedicated sports infrastructure training grounds, community stadia, and talent centers will be developed in partnership with counties and the private sector to unlock employment across the sports value chain, including event management, broadcasting, merchandising, and sports tourism.
In ICT, PPP will expand affordable connectivity, community digital hubs, and last-mile internet to lower the cost of entry for youth innovators and promote online jobs and the gig economy. We propose to eliminate digital taxes and all encumbrances to entry. We will align digital skills training with real market demand, support incubation and acceleration of youth-led startups, and remove punitive digital taxes on small earners to allow creators, freelancers, and micro-entrepreneurs to scale. Public procurement will be opened to youth-led tech firms through simplified digital onboarding and transparent contracting. The outcome will be a youth economy where talent is bankable, innovation becomes enterprise, and digital work converts into predictable income and job creation.
- In sum, our plan transforms Kenya by fixing systems, not masking symptoms—so that growth pays people first, opportunity is widely owned, and prosperity is shared.
