Today it’s official that former President William Ruto didn’t assent the Financial Bill of 2024 after getting the majority vote earlier in the day yesterday. The Parliament are now going into recess later today and most likely the Parliament won’t touch any of the amendments or anything else.
What is happening after yesterday’s violence, lethal attacks on civilians and extra judicial killings by law enforcement. Yesterday will forever stain the reign of Ruto. He cannot return into power or be respected as the Head of State after what happened. Ruto cannot be legitimate or even seen as the President. That ship has sailed…
Former President Ruto should just resign and the dissolve the whole Parliament. The political elite which is currently there isn’t serving the will of the people. They are there for personal reasons and their own wealth. That’s why they are serving and being representatives.
It is hard to believe this was done because of the pressure. Yesterday evening the former President called the protesters “criminals” and “treasonous”. Now he didn’t assent the same bill they are rejecting. Therefore, this doesn’t add up.
This is buying “peace” but a fake peace. A man who secured the ordering of soldiers and the army on the streets. He knows there will be more protestors and they are not done. The citizens and people are tired of this regime. They don’t trust Ruto, and neither should they.
Ruto and his cronies has already shown his “heart”. The former President has shown his priorities and has lost face. There is nothing he can salvage. The deaths, the murders and the misuse of power is shown. It has been televised and the hurt is now open. The state haven’t tried to fix it or listen to the pleas.
That’s why the sending back of the bill is only a half-assed way of looking like he cares. Nevertheless, he won’t do much and it will much ado nothing in the end. That’s what he does… and we can see it coming. His a con, a long-con and a serial-liar. The former President only thinks about himself and his own wealth. That’s why his there and being the Head of State.
The Finance Bill of 2024 is still a viable thing. It is not yet gone. That won’t go away that easily. Ruto will still make it happen, as the man who needs IMF and World Bank on his side. He needs them to cover for his overspending and shortfalls in the budgets. That’s why their policies and strings attached matters more than the complaining people on the streets. The money from the IMF is more important than them.
That’s what Ruto has already shown. The Kenya Kwanza and allies of Ruto will push it through. They hope to buy time, but it is futile. The people aren’t having it. The costs are already to big and he should have seen the writing on the wall. Instead, he used live bullets to get it his way. That’s who Ruto is and that’s now his legacy.
Ruto’s violence will live on forever. That will be attached to his name. The victims, the killings and the violence will be how we remember him. Peace.
