The support for the amendment of the Finance Bill by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's allies can be seen from multiple perspectives. From the onset, from a policy standpoint, they may genuinely believe that the amendments are in the best interest of their constituents and the country. Supporting the Financial Bill 2024 could be a reflection of their commitment to economic reforms they believe are necessary. On one hand, if DP Gachagua's allies are seen as acting independently or counter to Ruto's preferences, it could exacerbate existing tensions and create further divisions in the ruling party. Viewed in another way, if the amendments are ultimately beneficial and well-received, it could strengthen the alliance by showcasing their effectiveness in governance.
