Although the bill has not been officially presented in the National Assembly for voting, the planned protests are still occurring. It is widely believed that the bill will receive approval as the government holds a majority in the National Assembly, indicating they are likely to vote in favour of it.

The resistance against the finance bill of 2023 has been steadily growing in intensity, with civil societies, activists, politicians, and ordinary Kenyans openly expressing their opposition to it. Notably, the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has actively taken a stand against the government, particularly when they perceive policies that could negatively impact Kenyans.

Raila's party has been proactive in opposing the government's actions, going as far as organizing demonstrations a few months ago to voice their discontent. This active involvement by the Azimio la Umoja coalition showcases their commitment to standing up for the rights and interests of the Kenyan people, particularly when they believe government decisions could be detrimental to the citizens.




In addition, various other groups are now prepared to join in protest against the government's actions.
