In spite of the fact that the highest court in the land has placed a stay on the execution of the finance bill 2023, President William Ruto and his friends in the National Assembly left nothing to chance during the voting stage for the bill in the National Assembly . This information has been brought to light by a number of members of Parliament linked with Azimio. The MPs have detailed the difficulty they encountered when attempting to halt the bill’s progress through the national parliament.
According to a number of Azimio lawmakers who spoke the Nation Newspaper on anonymity condition, Kenya Kwanza majority whip Silvanus Osoro was one the key Ruto allies who had been assigned the big role of seeing the bill through the National Assembly.
Allegedly, Osoro was so strict and upset when he found out that some pro-government MPs were still dining at the National Assembly restaurant while voting for the Finance Bill was going on, as was reported by the lawmakers from Azimio. Osoro was so strict and furious.
A strict Osoro is said to have ordered the closure of the restaurant in his capacity as the minority whip to force the MPs out of the hotel. The management of the restaurant could do nothing but honor the order to close the restaurant. The MPs were forced to leave the hotel and proceed to the chambers to vote for the bill.
