Joho tells MPs to reject the 2024 Finance Bill, regardless of what their party leaders say

Former Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho has called on legislators to set aside party loyalties and unite in opposition to the Finance Bill 2024 for the welfare of Kenyans.

Speaking on Sunday at Masjid Kulthum, Joho joined a chorus of politicians against the controversial bill, expressing concerns that its passage could lead to economic collapse in Kenya.

Joho criticized President William Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza administration, accusing it of imposing undue burdens on taxpayers. He emphasized the need for lawmakers to prioritize the interests of the people over party politics, suggesting that the proposed law would further strain an already struggling economy.

His remarks echo a broader sentiment among several political leaders and public figures who argue that the Finance Bill 2024 could have detrimental effects on the country’s economic stability and the well-being of its citizens.

“What you’re doing is to make our people poorer every day. Do you want them to remain poor as you rule over them every day?” posed the former governor.

Joho said the bill, which seeks to introduce more taxes as the government seeks to raise more revenue, does not consider the well-being of ordinary Kenyans.

“This is not a matter of whether you are a member of ODM or UDA. It calls for people to get out of their parties and listen to the voices of the people. Go to Parliament and debate on behalf of the people,” said Joho.

“As ODM, we will vehemently oppose it, but we do not have the numbers needed to turn it down; we need more support.”
