During his address, Gachagua asked the public to wait until 2027 in case they want to punish or affirm a lawmaker regarding fallout stemming from the Finance Bill 2024 or any other matter. Hardline lawmakers in the ruling party among them Finance Committee Kimani Kuria and National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah experienced firsthand the wrath of a scorn population. In the first reading of the Finance Bill on Thursday last week, 205 MPs voted to pass the bill while in yesterday's second reading, 195 lawmakers voted to adopt the amendments.
