National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula has come under fire for his handling of proceedings during the debate over the contentious Finance Bill 2024, with accusations of bias and procedural irregularities levelled against him by Senators aligned with the Azimo La Umoja One Kenya Coalition. "Speaker Wetangula is running the house like a DJ at a disco matanga in Matisi. The exclusion of Senators from the galleries, traditionally open to the public during debates, has intensified tensions within the assembly. "The behaviour of the Speaker is wanting, and Wetangula needs to change," Sifuna remarked, criticising what he sees as Wetangula's excessive involvement in debates. The Finance Bill 2024, currently under debate, holds significant implications for Kenya's national budget.
