Opiyo Wandayi","speaker":null,"content":" Hon. Speaker, let me make the following comments concerning the Finance Bill 2024. I want to pick from where Hon. Robert Mbui left. We have been around for some time. As a matter of fact, this is my 12th year in Parliament. Even before that, I was living in Kenya. What is so unique about this Government is that for two years in a row, the matter of the Finance Bill has been causing hullabaloo, commotion and pandemonium and young children are going to the streets. We have had Finance Bills since 1963 – during President Jomo Kenyatta’s, President Moi’s and President Kibaki’s time. Recently we had them during President Uhuru’s time. However, in this regime, for two years in a row, the Finance Bill has been causing serious problems for Kenyans. This exposes the regime as totally insensitive to the plight of the people."}
