President William Ruto has warned MPs not to bow to pressure from the opposition to vote against the Finance Bill 2023 that has the interests of the people at heart.
Speaking in Narok County during a thanksgiving service and homecoming party for Environment Cabinet Secretary Soipan Tuya, the president said he will monitor MPs who will oppose the bill that seeks to address challenges facing ordinary Kenyans.
“Opposing the Finance Bill is like opposing the employment of the youth. Opposing the Housing Plan is like opposing according Kenyans decent and affordable homes,” he said, even as he vowed to pursue his agenda of delivering on his campaign promises.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua said the opposition has been misleading Kenyans about the Finance Bill 2023, maintaining further that tax must be paid in order for the government to deliver by offering projects.
MPs who attended the event termed the housing levy a win-win for Kenyans because it would allow them to acquire property and create employment opportunities.
