Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has launched a blistering attack on President William Ruto's proposed 2026/27 budget and Finance Bill, describing the two documents as a direct assault on ordinary Kenyans and urging Parliament to reject them.

Mr Gachagua has accused the government of prioritising taxation, borrowing and lavish spending at the expense of healthcare, education, agriculture and job creation.

"The Finance Bill 2026 is taxing Kenyans into poverty. It is a killer and a threat to the common mwananchi. It will break households while stifling the freedom of Kenyans," Mr Gachagua said.
