Protesters have this afternoon tried to storm the rural home of Nyaribari Chache MP Zaheer Jhanda.
Jhanda voted Yes for the Finance Bill, 2024, which has been vehemently opposed by Kenyans, particularly the youth.
A contingent of anti-riot police officers were deployed at the MP’s home to guard against attacks from agitated youth.
After the vote, Jhanda took to social media and asked the youth to give President William Ruto time to deliver on his election pledges.
He defended the Ruto as a caring and understanding President.
He further argued that the clauses in the Bill that the youth were uncomfortable with were dropped.
“The government is doing all it can. The President has done so well on the international stage. Why do we want to water down what he has achieved so far,” he stated.
Several MPs who voted Yes have had their properties destroyed and homes attacked by youths who are opposed to the Bill.
On Tuesday, properties of unknown value were vandalised at the home of Molo MP and National Assembly Finance Committee chair Kuria Kimani.
Irate demonstrators breached the perimeter wall surrounding the multi-million house, burnt and destroyed cars even as others looted the house of valuables.
Some of those who invaded the home walked away with animals too.
