President William Ruto has described the public debate on the Finance Bill 2023 as pompous and an act of betrayal.
Speaking at a church service in Leshuta, Narok County, on Sunday, the president said that Azimio La Umoja and other opposition leaders are only opposing the measure because they are opposed to it.
“Even the opposition supports the housing plan, and if Azimio were in charge, they would be saying the same thing Iam saying.”
According to Ruto, every politician should back the bill and those opposing are not serving the interests of the people.
“We need to pass this bill so Kenya can develop. There are some suggestions that MPs should disclose how they voted when the bill is tabled in parliament, but personally, I am waiting to see any MP who will shut down that bill,” said the president.
The budget year 2023/2024 is scheduled to be presented to Parliament on June 15.
