We need a list of those 187 MPs who did not attend the Finance Bill voting session. We pay these people way too much to let them abscond important sessions like this.
Let's call it what it is: Treason against the voter. These 187 individuals are paid by public taxes to represent the Republic of Kenya. Skipping the single most critical financial session of the year isn't "absence", it’s deliberate abandonment.
If any ordinary Kenyan skips work on the most important day of the year, they get fired on the spot. But 187 MPs can deliberately abandon Parliament during the #FinanceBill2026 vote and keep their salaries? Why do they get to decide our future via empty chairs?
It should literally be illegal for bills affecting 50+ million Kenyans to pass when half of Parliament didn't even bother to show up for work.
If we don't show up to our jobs, we get fired. Why do they get to decide our future via empty chairs?
Finance Bill 2026.
Out of 347 MPs, only 162 showed up to vote on one of the most consequential pieces of legislation affecting millions of Kenyans.
122 voted YES
40 voted NO
185 MPs were absent
If only 162 MPs can determine the future of the country's finances, then Kenyans have every right to ask:
Why are taxpayers funding 347 MPs when nearly half the House is missing during critical national decisions? 🇰🇪
Laban Omusundi submitted a petition to Senate for Enactment of a legal framework to provide for citizen initiated recall of the President and governors. The Justice and Legal affairs committee was to issue response 48 days ago but are yet to give one or table a committee report.
Wrote this when Kenya signed the US health pact. This Ebola quarantine facility seems less about the disease and more about lopsided transactions that Kenya is getting into with the US: https://t.co/lNxqsD4brg
You cannot talk of a strong healthcare system on paper when you have glaring gaps in the WHO six pillars of healthcare system namely leadership and governance, health workforce, health care financing, essential medicines health information system and service delivery
The biggest question about the U.S. building a #Ebola quarantine, isolation, and treatment facility for Americans in Kenya is not just why the U.S. is doing this — but WHY Kenya agreed to it.
This is clearly not about ensuring American healthcare workers receive the highest level of care. The U.S. already has world-class biocontainment units and highly trained teams that taxpayers have spent billions to build and sustain.
So why outsource this responsibility to another country? And what pressure or incentives were involved in making this happen?
