Ndindi Nyoro aelezea kukosa kupiga kura ya mswada wa fedha

Mbunge wa Kiharu Ndindi Nyoro ameeleza sababu ya kukosa kupiga kura ya mswada wa fedha wa 2026 bungeni.

Nyoro alisema alisafiri nje ya nchi Jumatano jioni kwa ajili ya majukumu rasmi ambayo hayakuweza kuahirishwa. Alisema kura ilifanyika Alhamisi saa tatu na dakika 15 usiku huku wabunge 122 wakiunga mkono na 40 kupinga.

Kwa jumla wabunge 186 hawakuhudhuria kikao hicho kilichohitaji idhini ya rais ili kuwa sheria. Nyoro alisisitiza kuwa alishiriki mijadala ya awali ya mswada huo katika kamati na sakafu ya bunge.

Mswada huo unalenga kuongeza mapato ya takriban shilingi bilioni 120 ili kufadhili bajeti ya shilingi trilioni 4.82 kwa mwaka wa kifedha 2026/27. Baadaye kamati ilipendekeza kupunguza makadirio hadi chini ya shilingi bilioni 70.
