Monday, July 8, 2024 -Lawyer Willis Otieno has accused the State for being extravagant while choosing to tax Kenyans more.
Addressing the controversy surrounding the rejected Finance Bill 2024 on KTN tv, the seasoned lawyer said, President William Ruto had chosen to keep intact his expensive lifestyle while deciding to tax the already burdened country.
Citing over 30 countries already visited by Ruto in the two year period he(Ruto) has been in office, Otieno noted that this makes part of the reasons the young men of this nation are angry at Kenya Kwanza leadership.
“Since President Faye of Senegal was elected, he has only visited one country; the neighboring Mali. He has identified priorities; given up on his comfort, and even rejected presidential cars to give his people this comfort instead,” Lawyer Willis stated.
In Kenya, according to Willis, the president does the opposite. Keeps moving from one country to another despite the Financial challenges facing the people he leads
And speaking on the collapsed Finance Bill, the lawyer said the country could soon be confronted by fiscal collapse should the Bill sail through.
“The Finance Bill will cause a fiscal collapse. For instance, I cover my car with third-party insurance, since I cannot afford comprehensive insurance. With the new rates, the price will be more expensive than what I could not afford before. I will, therefore, withdraw totally,” he added.
Lawyer Willis advised the Gen Zs to continue rejecting the ruling party allied MPs and deny them any type of audience.
Willis said, because the elected Members of Parliament MPs only listen to the President instead of those who elected them, that is the person they should only address and not voters.
