Government to Offer Security to Those Giving Their Views on the Financial Bill
CS Interior Kithure Kindiki now says the Government will provide the necessary security support to those who wish to air their grievances and views peaceably on the Financial Bill.
He says Kenya is a democratic nation that respects the plurality of opinion and views on political, economic, and social matters.
Kindiki noted that differences in opinion and persuasion must be resolved peacefully and using relevant institutions.
“On the ongoing conversation over the Finance Bill 2023, the Government will provide the necessary security support to those who wish to air their grievances and views peaceably. Any form of lawlessness, including disruption of businesses, destruction of public and private property, and looting, will be not be allowed, ” said the interior CS.
He spoke after joining christians at the Methodist Church of Kenya (MCK) Marimanti Town, Tharaka Nithi County for Sunday Service.
The interior CS said MPs from Kenya Kwanza Alliance and the opposition should use their legislative mandate to determine the fate of the Finance Bill 2023.
“Any person aggrieved by the parliamentary outcome should use other institutions, such as the Judiciary to contest the decision, ” he added.
Kindiki further said that the Government recognises and acknowledges the critical role played by religious organisations in nourishing souls of the faithful and partnership in providing key services such as education, health, and water, among others.
“The Government will not relent in flushing out crooks and criminals hiding behind religion and using scriptures to radicalise and indoctrinate their followers, ” he added.
