“Nione mimi kwa macho, I will not vote for that thing. I regret taking a mortgage in National Assembly it's drying me for no reason. How many houses have you established in Mumias East?

“President ata ukitaka tupitishe don't warn us as if we are your children. Mimi nilichaguliwa na watu,” Salasya tweeted.

President Ruto on Sunday accused the dissenters of the Finance Bill 2023 of suppressing the plan to provide mortgages to ordinary citizens while they enjoy theirs at a decent rate.

"I'm waiting to see the MPs who will go and vote against housing that will give these people a chance to own a decent home, with 5% mortgage when themselves as leaders are getting 3% mortgage from taxes paid by Kenyans. I want to see them," he stated.
