The open ballot plan for the Finance Bill 2023 vote has the support of President William Ruto. Ruto stated that he is waiting to meet with the lawmakers who planned to reject the Bill. Ruto urged Kenya's Kwanza lawmakers to approve it, while Raila Odinga, the head of the opposition, urged Azimio MPs to oppose it. This is a contribution and savings plan for the affordable housing initiative, not a tax, according to Ruto. "We will push for an open voting method for the Finance Bills and we shall count them one by one.
