MP Reveals How House Levy was Forced Through their Throats by State House Cartels

The controversial 1.5 % House Levy wasn’t legally passed according to
Bomet Central MP Ronald Tonui. The MP exposed the inner workings of some State House cartels who allegedly bribed MPs in order to have the 1.5% housing levy passed.

Tonui claimed that some MPs were bribed to sneak the levy into the Finance Bill since it did not pass through their caucus as normal government projects do.

He disclosed that a majority of MPs had been opposed to the entire scheme where a section of Kenyans’ salaries will be slashed in order to finance the government’s housing project.

He further alleged that the operatives orchestrated the failure of the voting system on the D-day after sneaking the levy, something that had never happened before.

“Most MPs were and are still opposed to this plan by the government to deduct salaries to facilitate the construction of the affordable houses.

“We rejected it and our number was even higher but it is unfortunate some individuals tampered with the voting systems giving way for the manual system and that is where we were defeated,” The Star quoted Tonui.

He also attacked the entire set-up of the parliament revealing that it was not keen on the interests of the people.

“We no longer have an independent Parliament that protects the interests of the people. What we have is a den of individuals pursuing their own interests,” he continued.

The deduction was set to commence at the end of this month but the whole practice was suspended by the court.

“I thank the courts for saving the situation by stopping the deductions,” celebrated Tonui.
