President William Ruto has declined to sign the controversial Finance Bill 2024 that has sparked deadly protests leaving several young people dead. Ruto’s statement comes a day after violent protests broke out across the country over the passing of the bill by parliament.
The head of state further promised to engage various stakeholders on key measures essential in running the government upon the suspension of the Financial Bill.
“Because we have gotten rid of the Finance Bill 2024, we must have a conversation on how to manage the affairs of the country and the debt situation together. I will propose an engagement with the young people and listen to our sons and daughters,” said the President.
