Addressing the teeming crowd, he said, he will forfeit his salary if voted into power, stressing further that, he would rather donate his presidential salary to the poor, disabled, orphanages and aged.
” There’s no reason why a president should take monthly salary when they are capable of living well without it”, he added.
As the only independent candidate contesting in this year’s presidential elections, Mr. Walker also promised to create more job opportunities especially for the youth.
He further stated that he would build a motivated police force by providing them with a life insurance policy and decent accommodation.
