Busia Senator and activist Okiya Omtatah has said he will be heading to court to address the proposed Finance Bill 2023.
For the avoidance of doubt, he declared he is going to court after the Madaraka Day celebrations.
"I am going to engage with the Finance Bill in court and watch this space. Have your Madaraka because after Madaraka it is going to be a new bold game," he said.
Omtatah said if the Bill was to be tabled in the Senate, he would have waited to oppose it.
"If the Bill was coming to the Senate, I would have waited to comment on the Bill and to try and fight it in this House. But because it is not coming to this House, it can only be tabled in the National Assembly, I am going to engage the Bill in court," he said.
The Senator said he will also try to fight for the Bill to be tabled in the Senate.
Omtatah said he will engage the Bill in court on the issues that threaten to destroy the industrial base of the nation.
He said the proposed Bill intends to take Kenya back to the caves.
"This is a war for the republic of Kenya. It is a fight for the soul of this country and we are not going to shy from it. We don't have another country. This is all we have," he said.
Omtatah said he will meet those inviting him for a fight outside the Senate buildings where there are no privileges.
"It will be a bare-knuckled fight. There will be no gloves. It will be bare knuckles, and I don't blink," he said.
On Sunday, Omtatah said he was going to challenge the proposed Finance Bill 2023 as some of its clauses go against the constitution.
He urged the President to relook the aspects that violate the law.
