'William Ruto resign!' Nairobi Senator Sifuna demands as anti-Finance Bill protests rage on
Addressing the media at Parliament buildings on the controversial Finance Bill 2024, Sifuna said the President should not only withdraw the contentious proposed law but also step down.
"The country is bigger than William Ruto. What you are seeing out there is a total reputation of William Ruto. The entire country has risen up to say Ruto must go... At this moment in time even withdrawal of that Bill will not be enough. William Ruto resign as President of the Republic of Kenya," said Sifuna.
"From your own home in Sugoi, down the mountain, across the Coast, Kenyans are saying you go because you have failed as the president of the Republic of Kenya. Enough is enough. William Ruto you must resign as the president of the republic. You have failed the people of Kenya!" added the Nairobi Senator.
He further condemned the excessive force used by police on unarmed youth who are protesting against the Finance Bill which is set to be assented into law by the President after approval by Parliament.
Sifuna told police to realise that the Kenyan youth are not their enemies.
“Your enemy is the one shipping you to Haiti, despite the position of the people of Kenya that we do not support the deployment of people to Haiti,” he said.
Sifuna claimed that the President is not paying the deployed police officers enough citing that he is pocketing 80% of the required funds.
The Nairobi Senator praised the Kenyan youth for the continuous protests against the finance bill, stating “Be afraid not. This is your country."
"You will take this movement to its logical conclusion. We are here on standby if there is any need or requirement you need from us let us know and we will do it,” said Sifuna.
“We have seen goons raiding homes of innocent people at 2 am very ungodly hours. The ungodly president is raiding people’s homes at ungodly
hours. At 2 am they picked up Gabriel Oguda here at his house,” said Sifuna
“You must release Gabriel Oguda unconditionally and immediately and all the others who have been arrested or kidnapped by the police and goos working at the behest of William Ruto."
