President Ruto stated that those who are rejecting the bill are because they are in the opposition otherwise, they know the bill will do well for Kenyans.
”Stop all the politicking around the housing levy. Even those in the opposition love the housing plan and if Azimio was in power, they would be saying what I am saying.” President Ruto said.
Ruto insisted on the importance of the bill terming it all-inclusive in employment opportunities in the community.
“We need to pass this bill so that Kenya can develop. There are some suggestions that MPs should disclose how they voted when the bill is tabled in parliament, but personally, I am waiting to see any MP who will shut down that bill,” he added.
He opined that anyone who feels the bill should wait is wrong for that. The finance bill 2023 is expected to be tabled before the National Assembly on June 15.
