Sarah Korere: Laikipia North MP Pens Letter Apologising For Voting Yes For Finance Bill

Laikipia North MP Sarah Korere has penned a letter seeking forgiveness from her constituents.

The MP who voted yes for the controversial Finance Bill said she had voted in good fate.

Korere also sent her condolences to the families of the Kenyans killed during the protests.

“This is a defining moment in our nation’s history. Our youth, Gen Z have expressed themselves clearly in the interest of the future. Unfortunately, the hitherto peaceful demonstrations turned tragic, claiming several lives while leaving scores injured,”

“My heartfelt condolences and deep sympathies GO to the bereaved families and I wish quick recovery to the injured.” She said.

Korere added that she was still ready and committed to serving the people of Laikipia North.

“As for my Laikipia North constituents, please accept my profound apologies for voting against your expectations on the finance bill. I voted in good faith after careful scrutiny with amendments, solely to cushion you from further marginalisation for decisions I take,”

“Thanks for your continued support accept my humble apologies. I remain steadfast and committed to your service.” She added.

President William Ruto earlier announced in a televised address at the State House that he won’t be signing the Finance Bill 2024.

The President said he has conceded and heard the will of the people.

“Members of the public insist on the need for us to make more concessions. The people have spoken” Ruto said.

“Having reflected on continuing the conversation around the Finance Bill, and listening to the Kenyan people who say they want nothing to do with this Bill, I concede,” Ruto said.
