The Holy Family Basilica and the Catholic Church in general are urging Kenyans to express their concerns about the Finance Bill 2024.
In a statement issued by the Basilica, the church condemned the bill as oppressive and supported calls for its repeal.
During Sunday’s sermon, leaders of the anti-Finance Bill demonstrations spearheaded by Gen Z and millennials invited Kenyans to join the statewide protest, announcing peaceful demonstrations from Nairobi’s General Post Office (GPO) to the Kenya National Archives starting at 3 p.m.
A protester interrupted the service as he walked to the front chanting ‘Reject the Finance Bill’ while carrying a Kenyan flag.
The church has termed the current state of the bill as oppressive, calling on Kenyans to stand in solidarity.
