The controversial Finance Bill 2024 has sailed through the Committee of the Whole House stage, where Members of Parliament were voting on the amendments to the Bill, now moving to the Third Reading.

After a rigorous voting process, 195 Members of Parliament voted in favor of the Bill, while 106 voted to reject the proposed law, with three votes spoilt.

"The results of the division are as follows: yes 195, No, 106, spoilt 3. The ayes have it,” National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula said.

Following the announcement, Azimio opposition coalition MPs began chanting in protest against the Bill before staging a walkout.
