President William Ruto has defended the once contentious Finance Bill 2024 saying that the bill failed due to propaganda and rumours.
Speaking duringa working tour in Taita Taveta, the Head of State said that the bill had proposals that would improve the live of Kenyans.
“Nilikuwa nimeweka the budget lakini ikaletewa kizungumkuti ikaenda segemnege. Wengine wakapiga NO hio kitu yote ikapotea sasa imerudi niende nifanye ukarabati ingine. Unaona vile hawa watu wananitesa, wananisumbua.

Na ni fitina tupu, ooh sijui imewekwa mambo ya cancer, sijui imewekwa nini ya mashamba na yote ni porojo na uongo lakini ya mungu ni mengi.” he said
President William Ruto however accepted the recent events in the country and that he has created a government of national unity for the sake of a better Kenya.
“I have accepted that what has happened has given us a chance to build a better Kenya. The government I have created now is a government of uniting all Kenyans.
I have created a cabinet that will bring all Kenyan communities together and it will unite us all to allow us to deal with addressing matters affecting the nation together.” he said
