<h2>Ruto-allied MPs who supported Finance Bill 2024 on the receiving end</h2>

A number of lawmakers who supported the controversial Finance Bill 2024 have since taken a hasty retreat and apologized to Kenyans for not listening to them.

Despite the apology, the public has not relented on their anger at the MPs who ignored the popular call to reject the Finance Bill2024.

Going against public interest and the interests of those who they represent, a majority of the MPs dismissed all concerns.

What followed was widespread protests that led to the loss of several lives and injuries as police descended on unarmed protesters in a week of bloodshed.

President William Ruto eventually conceded and declined to sign the bill even as critics opined that the move came too late into the process and at a heavy price, including deaths, destruction of property, injuries and a blot on the country’s image.

Ruto had initially rallied the MPs to pass the bill even as public opposition mounted, ignoring calls to reject the same.

MPs on the other hand dismissed the protests with some claiming that photos shared online of the protest were doctored and others alleging that the gen zs behind the protests had no clue on the content of the bill.

The unrelenting protesters eventually had their way, leaving many questioning who the MPs were representing in the first place and why the opposition to the bill was not taken into account until after the deaths and injuries.
