Locals of Bondo constituency have send a worrying message for their MP Gideon Ochanda after he voted yes for the Finance Bill 2024, enabling it to sail through to the second reading.
The residents, who were not out to play, showed up at the CDF offices carrying a coffin.
“Ochanda must go,” they chanted.
On the coffin, there was a message saying, Res in Peace Ochanda” and “Reject Finance Bill 2024.”

This confirms that they were unpleased by their MP’s to support the Bill.
Msambweni MP Feisal Badir also faced the wrath of his constituents after he voted yes for the Finance bill.
Angry youths matched to his office carrying branches and placards but police officers managed to keep them at bay.
MPs voted for the bill on Thursday after 2 days of a heated debate. 204 of them supported it for the second reading scheduled for Tuesday next week, while 115 opposed it.
Kenyans have been demonstrating since Tuesday to urge MPs to reject the bill saying it was seeking to further burden them.
