![<\/a>Thousands of Gen Z demonstrators were on the streets in June 2024 to protest against punitiive measures in the Finance Bill.<\/p>\nAt this stage, lawmakers will vote on the legislative document clause by clause before it advances to the third reading stage.<\/p>\nMinority Leader Opiyo Wandayi, despite the opposition\u2019s failure to halt the bill, insisted that the struggle to protect Kenyans\u2019 interests is far from over. \u201cThis is not the end; this journey has just started. We are taking a vote while police are battling young people out there. The battle to protect Kenyans\u2019 interests is on and is not over,\u201d Wandayi stated.<\/p>\nMinority Whip Junet Mohammed criticized the ruling coalition lawmakers for ignoring valid input from the opposition and voting under the influence of the Executive. \u201cAfter pumping a whole lot of sense into the Kenya Kwanza side, the bill was passed in a very draconian manner. It\u2019s a sad day for me, and we have nothing to do but to live with it,\u201d Mohammed said.<\/p>\nNyando MP Jared Okello declared that they would continue to push for demonstrations across the country to send a message to President Ruto\u2019s administration that they have neglected Kenyans. \u201cKenyans have spoken unequivocally that this is a bill that doesn\u2019t align with them. The battle will continue outside the house and inside the house. We will mobilize Kenyans to demonstrate,\u201d said Okello.<\/p>\n<\/a>Thousands of Gen Z demonstrators were on the streets in June 2024 to protest against punitiive measures in the Finance Bill.<\/p>\nSuba South MP Millie Mabona pointed out that the government should be wary that the children of lawmakers are among those demonstrating across the country. \u201cThe children of MPs from both divides are the ones demonstrating, and so if you are listening, government, please take action,\u201d Mabona said.<\/p>\nMathare MP Anthony Aluoch criticized the Kenya Kwanza Alliance government for disregarding the views of Kenyans during the public participation exercise. \u201cThis was a long con; the bill presented for public participation was a decoy.
