David Ndii has criticized individuals who are opposing Ruto's Finance Bill 2023, urging them to present alternative proposals that will protect the country from external shocks. He emphasized that the budget should not rely on IMF as a buffer in the budget planning process.
According to Ndii, the financial budget for 2023 is the best in the country as it aims to cushion those at the bottom of the pyramid from high taxes. He explained that the budget reduces the value of basic commodities significantly, which is beneficial to ordinary citizens.
David Ndii is convinced that the recently proposed Finance Bill 2023 will have a significant impact on the Kenyan economy. He believes that it will help to clarify President Ruto's "bottom-up" economic model to the public. According to Ndii, the bill was crafted by intelligent economists who understood the challenges posed by external shocks.
People with issues with Finance Bill, sit down, write an alternative budget that cushions external shocks without IMF, brings down deficit with no tax measures. And do the numbers. As Sam Rayburn said “Any jackass can kick down a barn but it takes a carpenter to build one.”

Additionally, the President has made a commitment to minimize wastage and exercise tight control over government finances.
