Azimio La Umoja on Friday took a swipe at the government over its proposed 2024/2025 budget, terming it as a misplaced one.
While condemning the National Treasury's budget announcement, Azimio principal Kalonzo Musyoka called on the international community to intervene.
The Wiper party leader also urged Kenyans in the diaspora to join their fellow citizens in condemning the recent budget allocations, saying the allocations did not prioritise the needs of Kenyans.
"In light of these grievous transgressions, we as a coalition urge the international community, and civil society organizations to stand in solidarity with Kenyans," Kalonzo commented.
"We also urge concerned citizens both at home and abroad to help in condemning the Kenya Kwanza regime’s blatant disregard for the public good," he added.
Azimio further instructed all Members of Parliament affiliated with the coalition to lead from the front in rejecting the Finance Bill which is set to be tabled in parliament next week.
Kalonzo also flagged over Ksh1 trillion in budget allocations, terming them misplaced allocations.
"The National Treasury has Ksh26 billion more in the name of development, and the State Department for Devolution has an increase of Ksh2.6 billion in development expenditure," Kalonzo revealed.
"The State Department of Housing has also been allocated an additional Ksh72B which is higher than that of 10 counties combined."
The government was also accused of perennially failing to address the plights of Kenyans and that the punitive taxes would plunge the country into an economic dilemma.
"What should Kenyans believe? This is a continuation of Kenya Kwanza's culture of lies. The Kenya Kwanza's regime fails to address the people's concerns," Kalonzo Musyoka questioned.
Azimio's presser comes barely a day after the National Treasury submitted its 2024/2025 budget proposal to the Parliament for approval.
