By SHABAN MAKOKHAMore by this AuthorSome MPs opposed to the Finance Bill, 2018 have told public gatherings they will petition to challenge its implementation. The three MPs blamed the Executive for “bulldozing the Assembly's activities” through Speaker Justin Muturi, Majority Leader Adan Duale and Chief Whip Benjamin Washiali. Mr Osotsi referred to the bill as the “Henry VIII Clause” in reference to the British king who forced through many pieces of legislation without Parliament’s approval. We want to see an appropriate balance of power between the Legislature and the Executive in future,” Mr Osotsi said. He said most of the MPs who voted against bill were prepared to block the implementation of the Act in court and "clean the House".
