Nairobi — National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has rejected Rarieda MP Otiende Amollo's attempt to repeal the withdrawn Finance Bill 2024, stating that only an Act of Parliament can be repealed.

In response to widespread street protests, primarily by the youth, President Ruto conceded to public demand and declined to assent to the controversial Finance Bill. Speaker Wetangula emphasized that Parliament has previously amended bills to meet the President's request to delete all proposed clauses, underscoring that house committees can only propose legislation to amend an Act of Parliament.

He dismissed Amollo's assertion that the Finance Bill 2024 would automatically become an Act after 14 days if not assented to.
