Friday, June 21, 2024 – National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has accused Gen Zs of planning to harm MPs over the contentious Finance Bill, which passed its second reading yesterday with 204 MPs voting in favor and 115 against.
Speaking in Parliament yesterday, Ichung'wah asserted that Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome had informed him about a plot by Gen Zs to seize control of the parliament during the protests.
Ichung'wah, who also serves as the Kikuyu MP, made these remarks following inquiries into the blockade of the parliament premises by police officers.
"The inspector general of police confirmed to me that there were organised groups who had planned to take siege of parliament and criminal elements who also intended to use the ongoing peaceful demonstrations to access the parliament and cause harm to MPs," he said.
President William Ruto's ally pointed out that the blockade facilitated easy access for legislators and all parliamentary staff to the precincts of parliament.
He emphasised that the improved security measures would ensure that MPs could vote on the bill freely, without undue influence or pressure.
