Kenyan lawmaker vows to vote against Finance bill
The lower house of Kenya’s parliament will meet Wednesday to consider the controversial 2024 Finance Bill. The whole parliament is expected to meet Thursday. This comes as hundreds of Kenyans took to the streets on Tuesday to express their disapproval of the bill which proposes taxes on several items, including bread, cars, and mobile phones. The government says the bill will raise additional revenue. Parliamentarian Millie Odhiambo tells VOA’s James Butty, she will not be voting for the legislation. That’s because her constituents have told her through thousands of social media messages to vote ‘No,’ saying the bill doesn’t serve the public’s interest
