The President of Kenya does not have the constitutional authority to unilaterally withdraw a bill that has been passed by Parliament. The Constitution of Kenya outlines specific procedures for what the President can do when presented with a bill, but withdrawing it altogether is not one of them. Here are the relevant procedures: 1. **Assent or Referral**: Within 14 days of receiving a bill, the President must either: - Assent to the bill, making it law, or - Refer the bill back to Parliament with specific reservations for reconsideration. 2. **Parliament's Response**: - If referred back, Parliament can amend the bill based on the President's reservations and return it for assent. - If Parliament passes the bill again, with or without amendments, by a two-thirds majority in both houses, the President must assent to the bill within seven days. 3. **Automatic Enactment**: If the President does not assent to the bill or refer it back within 14 days, or if Parliament passes the bill

@@robertrushoka3764 Yes I know that - Kenyan Politicians are paid more than their European counterparts. Why is that? The theory was that if they were paid so much they wouldn't be as corrupt. Of course though that doesn't stop suitcases of money being passed around to/from politicians. The tribal system in Kenya doesn't help either - politicians derive their funding for elections from persons in their districts which invariably require paying back when the election is won. There have been studies done on road development in Kenya - when Kikuyus are in power then roads are built in districts where Kikuyu are prominent - when Kalenjin are in power then road building takes place in districts where Kalenjin are dominant This, is the nature of Kenyan politics and the Public Service has been from the President to the average traffic Policeman an avenue to exact money from the citizen. That has been the case since Jomo Kenyatta! It can only come to an end if the culture of entitlement ends. Perhaps, forbid/limit private funding in the Election cycle (so politicians aren't obliged to pay back their creditors) and index Politicians and Public Service wages to a multiple of a set minimum wage.

This must inspire all oppressed African people. You are not helpless. Stand up and resist all forms of dictatorship. Kenya is leading the way.

This guy MUST GO !

Am proud of kenyan youth. A revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall. The silent voices of the youth have risen. Forget not, the whole Arab uprising was started by single Tunisian youth. When it boils it will burst.

*Mama I made it!* I occupied Parliament Remember the #occupyParliament demonstrations? But tell papa I’m sorry I won’t come home tonight Not because I’m spending at a friends’. No! Not because I’m among the injured. No! Nor because I was abducted as they have to most of us. That would have been better I’m in cold dark place called the morgue Mama I know Papa will be angry why I wore his shoes I had to, I know they are bigger but I had to Otherwise no one could have. I know he will complain that I have read too much political novels Please don’t let him blame Animal Farm, Don’t let him blame Kidagaa Kimemwozea, Don’t let him blame Tumbo Lisiloshiba, Don’t let him blame Kifo Kisimani, Don’t let him blame Mstahiki Meya, Or Parliament of Owls They can’t be blamed. I did it for Our country. They hailed us for being fearless Mama! They called it an historic moment ; actually unprecedented. Did you watch the news? All over the country thousands of us matched forward, wearing mostly black, chanting slogans and singing revolutionary songs. They call us GenZ Mama. Some Mpigs say we have watched too much Netflix and we eat KFC. Sorry for the spelling Mama, I meant MPs. Did you see how we sang ‘Kudade’ with Mc Gogo? Did you see how Juliani turned up and we sang ‘Utawala’? That song you call ‘Nikoo njaa siwezi karanga’? Did you hear us sing ‘Tujiangalie’by Sauti Sol? Have you seen King Kaka’s ‘ Wanataka Kutumaliza’? Did you see how Mulamwah gave us Tea and Mandazi? Have you seen all the comedians, Content creators and influencers? I told you it will be Big Mama! We matched forward Mama Slowly and peacefully Like you told me We said we were peaceful They rattled us with teargas and water canons Mama We coughed, cried and chocked to the smoke but still matched on We matched amidst the sting of that pink water they sprayed on us with those beastly vehicles But nothing was more painful than hearing them pass that draconian punitive Bill Mama. Remember how you used to forcefully give us porridge by locking us between your legs, pinching our noses then pouring a tone of porridge in our forcibly opened mouth?Leaving us with two choices; swallowing or choking to death? That’s what they did to us today Mama But unlike in the past, today’s child chose the latter; death! We approached the parliament as promised. We eventually occupied Parliament Mama Albeit briefly. The wall gave in and we entered. I’m sorry I did not taste the rice As some did Mama All I tasted was the bullets Mama They sprayed me with bullets Mama, That’s why i won’t come home. My battle is over Mama But not the revolutionary war.

Ugandans should take note of this incident in Kenya!

[@rnm20006]

Because “I run a government but I also lead the people and the people have spoken”. The people are also the government Ruto!!!

[@meleas8262]

He must resign tomorrow. Over 300 dead

[@elishamgoja8291]

Did it have to go this far? Now people are dead, then you say you will not sign it? This is why I have said before, Ruto is not an adminstrator. He should be held accountable for the deaths that occoured.

[@habonajeanwillon3336]

Wow good job am from in Kenya ❤❤

[@RenovatPascasie-yr7qt]

People of Kenya must demand justice for the victims after Ruto's resigning

[@emilianojames4343]
