We will not be part of it! Azimio MPs walk out of Budget reading

The team refused to be a part of President William Ruto's first budget reading in Parliament on Thursday, June 15.

All that is seen as a move by the opposition to counter the Bill and the Budget proposal made by the Kenya Kwanza government.

On Wednesday, a majority of Azimio leaders voted against the Finance Bill 2023 report presented in Parliament. Many of the alliance's members were also absent during the voting process.

The National Assembly passed the Finance Bill, 2023 Report with 176 MPs voting in favour and 81 opposed. None abstained.

The Bill proceeds to the Third Reading on Tuesday, June 20.
