Kuresoi North MP Alfred Mutai

Condemnation of Violence

Kuresoi North MP Alfred Mutai strongly condemns Molo constituents for the violent attack on MP Kuria Kimani’s home. The incident, sparked by Kimani’s support for the contentious Finance Bill 2024, saw property destroyed and public outrage escalate.

Unwavering Support for the Finance Bill

Addressing his constituents in a roadside gathering, Mutai reiterated his unwavering support for the Finance Bill. He defended his ‘Yes’ vote, asserting that it was crucial for bringing development and infrastructure improvements to the region. Despite backlash and the destruction of Kimani’s property, Mutai maintained his stance without seeking forgiveness.

Warnings of Future Regret

Mutai warned Molo constituency residents that their actions could have long-term consequences. He argued that opposing the Finance Bill would deprive the region of much-needed development initiatives. Expressing disappointment over the destructive retaliation against Kimani, Mutai criticized the logic behind such acts and urged for peaceful means of dissent.

Political Maneuvering and Leadership

In a strategic move, Mutai suggested that President William Ruto consider assigning leadership roles to Kuresoi constituency. He implied that the readiness of his constituency for development initiatives should be acknowledged amidst the controversy.

Religious Interventions and Predicted Consequences

Referring to recent cleansing rituals conducted at Kimani’s home, Mutai predicted repercussions for those involved in the vandalism. He condemned the attack and expressed hope that the religious rites would yield justice for the perpetrators.

National Fallout Over the Finance Bill

The Finance Bill, originally supported by MPs like Kimani, was eventually dropped by President Ruto following widespread public outcry and violent protests. The bill, aimed at financial reforms, sparked significant dissent that culminated in protesters storming parliament and setting parts of it on fire.

Despite the turmoil and public backlash, MP Alfred Mutai remains steadfast in his support for the Finance Bill. His leadership amidst controversy reflects the complex dynamics of Kenyan politics and the challenges faced by elected officials in balancing public opinion and legislative decisions.
