Let the President do the right thing on Finance Bill 2024, Lobby says

President Dr William Ruto has been urged to follow the right procedure on the issue of the controversial Finance Bill 2024.

Suba Development Forum, a lobby group tells the President to use the three options available so as to sort out the issue of the Finance Bill 2024 that most Kenyans have rejected and has led to peaceful street protests in various parts of the country.

Speaking at Mukuyu in Gwasi within Homa Bay County, Suba Development Forum Coordinator Bernard Okebe says the three options available for the President include assenting the bill into law, leave it to and it becomes a law after 14 days or send it back to Parliament with amendments he has proposed.

Okebe says the President has no powers to withdraw the Bill as it is currently.

The Coordinator of the Suba Development Forum at the same time applauded DP Rigathi Gachagua saying he is truthful and honest to the President and people of Kenya by saying that the National Intelligence Service could have led to the situation where it reached resulting into deaths.

 

"Sometimes is being honest to face the truth and tell the King when he is naked and ask him to put on clothes," Okebe says.

 

He says the country has been on the wrong direction with majority Kenyans crying to the President to hear their cries until Gen Z decided to act to save Kenyans.

 

He chided those MPs who supported the bill with 'Yes " vote but with full knowledge that they were doing it against the wishes of common but majority Kenyans.

 

Okebe asked DP Gachagua to continue facing reality to issues affecting common Kenyans by speaking out and advising the president as required.

 

"Kenyans have been following keenly on the Finance Bill 2024 events and they have marked everyone who did what they did. Events at parliament and to parliamentarians are clear sign of anger by Kenyans on MPs", Okebe says.
