Nyali MP Mohamed Ali wants youths to stop their Anti-Government rallies, citing that the protests threaten the country's economic stability.
The Nyali MP, who supported the withdrawn finance bill 2024, said the rallies have posed serious economic consequences.
“You have no idea what an unstable country looks like; ask me, I have been to several countries which have been destabilised by dirty politics; South Sudan, Somalia, Sudan and Rwanda,” Ali said on Wednesday during a meeting of UDA legislators and religious leaders in Mombasa.
“They were all good countries that were ruined by the youth through dirty politics and tribalism. Let us not waste our country because of the interests of some people.”

Ali claimed that the ongoing protests were backed by unnamed people with ulterior motives and urged the youth to stop them.
Ali asserted that the current protests are being led by unknown individuals with ulterior purposes and encouraged the young to put an end to them.
“This is not about the Finance Bill; it was not about it. It is about something else and people are taking advantage of that to destabilise our country,” said the MP.
In his opinion, Kenyans should allow President Ruto's government room to lead and wait till the next General Election in 2027 to pick anyone they want.
“People have the power to elect whoever they want in 2027. For now, let us allow President William Ruto to put his house in order. He has rejected the Bill and offered to have a discussion,” Ali said.
He told the youth to “give the police peace of mind.”
“I will also go around the county preaching peace; I don’t care if I will be hit or not,” said the MP, whose office protesters stormed on June 24 over his absence at the National Assembly when his counterparts were voting for the contentious draft law.
