Kitutu Chache South MP Anthony Kibagendi Among Leaders Who Voted NO on Finance Bill 2026

Kitutu Chache South Member of Parliament Hon. Anthony Kibagendi is among lawmakers who voted against the Finance Bill 2026, joining a section of legislators who rejected the proposal during the decisive parliamentary vote.

The MP’s “NO” vote aligns him with other Members of the National Assembly who expressed concern over the impact of the Bill on the cost of living and the economic burden facing ordinary Kenyans.

Lawmakers who opposed the Bill argued that certain provisions risked increasing pressure on households and businesses already struggling with rising expenses, and insisted that fiscal policy must prioritize fairness and economic stability.

Kibagendi’s position has been viewed as part of a broader parliamentary pushback that emphasized the need for greater accountability in taxation policy and stronger protection of citizens from punitive economic measures.

The Finance Bill 2026 vote has since sparked nationwide debate, highlighting divisions in Parliament over revenue generation and public welfare considerations.

As discussions continue, MPs who voted NO maintain that their decision was guided by public interest and the need to reflect the concerns of their constituents in legislative decision-making.

Their stance continues to shape political discourse as Kenya engages in broader conversations about taxation, governance, and the cost of living.
