Mudavadi Warns Rejecting Finance Bill May Topple Ruto: “They’re planning to send Ruto home”

Prime Cabinet Musalia Mudavadi on Friday called on Members of Parliament to remain adamant despite growing pressure for them to drop the Finance Bill.

While speaking during a development tour in Eldama Ravine, Baringo County, Mudavadi disclosed that rejecting the bill was commensurate to passing a vote of no confidence against the government.

According to Mudavadi, a vote of no confidence against the government would force President William Ruto to step down from his current position.

He went ahead to commend the legislators for voting in favor of the bill and urged them not to succumb to the pressures posed by the ongoing protests.

“Those people pushing to reject the Finance Bill, if it is rejected by any government, the next thing they will say is that it was a vote of no confidence,” Mudavadi stated.

“So when you think it’s a joke, they’re planning to send Ruto home, don’t take it lightly,” he added.

The Foreign Affairs CS reiterated that a Finance Bill was not a strange thing in Kenya and that most nations across the globe had similar bills.

He further disclosed that Kenya would have gone into history books as the first country globally to clamp down on a Finance Bill which could have meant an incompetent administration.
