Friday, June 21, 2024 – Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has vowed to take serious disciplinary action, including suspension and expulsion, against Wiper MPs who supported the controversial Finance Bill 2024.
In a concise statement, Kalonzo, through his party, indicated that it had instructed its legislators to vote against the contentious bill.
MPs who defied this directive would now face
consequences.
The party emphasized its
commitment to this stance, stressing that no exceptions would be made once the
disciplinary process commences.
Notably, among those identified
for disciplinary action is Dadaab MP Farah Maalim, who recently voted in favour
of the Finance Bill, contravening the party's directive.
According to Wiper, the party
members who voted in favour of the bill betrayed Kenyans and that it would not
relent on taking stern measures against them.
"All our MPs were
instructed to reject the Finance Bill 2024 and that is on record. There were no
exemptions," read part of a statement by Wiper Party.
"Choices have consequences
not just for the two, but for all who betrayed Kenyans."
In a separate statement, Kalonzo
lauded Kenyan youths for taking to the streets to protest against the bill
which he termed as unreasonable, unsound, and uncorrectable.
Kalonzo accused police officers
using force to intimidate protesters who were peacefully exercising their
constitutional rights to picket and demonstrate.
The Azimio principal also went
ahead to commend the 115 members of parliament who voted against the
bill.
