Human Rights activists on Monday chained themselves on the grills of the Milimani Law Courts perimeter wall to show solidarity with Senator Okiya Omtatah over the finance bill petition.
Singing anti-taxation chants, the human rights defenders who were dressed in sacks and encircled themselves with chain said they were opposed the Finance Act 2023.
According to the activists, the finance Act is punitive to the common citizen who cannot afford to feed themselves.
“No to Finance law no, down, down with over-taxation down ” the protesters sang, lamenting over the high cost of living.
Their protest happened just minutes before a High Court ruling on the Finance Act petition.
