Transcript

00:00We will recall the member of parliament if need be, but we don't want jokes in this generation.

00:29This finance bill is wrong, we are rejecting it, we are not saying amen, so during the

00:34third reading, I am apologizing to you, this is your house, this is yours, no!

00:39Also, I want to call out youths and tell them, even if they have passed the first stage of

00:46the bill, even if they have passed, that's just a battle, we've lost the battle, but

00:51the war is still on, the war is still on.

00:55We called for a vote, we took out the votes, so we can get justice, and it is our right,

01:01the votes of the people, we are telling them to shut up, we are telling them to shut up,

01:08so we are telling our MPs, all the MPs in the four counties who voted yes, they are still

01:14trying to beat this government, and if they don't do it, we will show them that they are

01:20not capable of doing it.

01:21All the youths in the four counties, go and vote, that vote will help you in 2027, we

01:27need that vote, in 2027, all the youths in the four counties, go and vote, we need that

01:36vote.

01:37And to the MPs who voted against the people, because you are supposed to be there to represent

01:42us, we told you what we want, and we did not want, we did not want you to pass the bill,

01:47but you passed it anyway.

01:49The people of Kenya remember, the generation of Zed remembers, we will always remember,

01:53and we will never go back to the same place, that's a promise.

01:56The sovereign power belongs to we the people, it's not up to you, I'm just saying, you

02:02have forgotten that we call you the people, you have forgotten that you are a house of

02:05representatives, the legislature and the executive are not the same arm, so if you

02:10go and ask for permission to vote, you will be in the ground in 2027.

02:13I would like to send my prayers to the executive, the executive, what they are doing in Kenya,

02:20even if they are alive, we have not accepted them, they lie to us with small things, but

02:25when you see that all the people have left, they already know what the executive is doing.

02:31Because the executive, when you look at what they did, it's like the president is

02:35leaving them, not that he is leaving them, or the MPs go to the parliament to represent

02:40them, but when they get to the parliament, they lie to us, until we tell them they can't

02:43do it.
