Thousands of young people in Mombasa have joined their counterparts countrywide to protest against the Finance Bill 2024.

Clad mostly in black and holding antigovernmental placards, the demonstrators arrived in Mombasa town as early as 6am.Police officers have been deployed, but have allowed the protests without interference.

Three more amendments which include those of Minority Whip Junet Mohammed, Ruaraka MP T.J Kajwang and Nominated MP John Mbadi were withdrawn on the floor of the house. Minority Leader Opiyo Wandayi told the House that the amendments were withdrawn after extensive deliberation saying it would be futile to propose their amendments since they are handicapped when it comes to numbers.
