President William Ruto has refused to sign the Finance Bill 2024, sending it back to Parliament for further review before their recess today. This move is seen as a measure to help calm the ongoing protests that have erupted across the country. The decision highlights ongoing concerns and disagreements over the bill’s provisions, signaling a need for more thorough deliberation and potential amendments to address the issues raised.
In the wake of widespread protests, President Ruto’s refusal to endorse the bill underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring that the legislation aligns with the public’s interests and mitigates further unrest. Parliament now faces the challenge of revisiting and revising the bill to ensure it meets the necessary criteria for approval while addressing the grievances of the protesting citizens.
