In a bizarre and unexpected turn of events, Member of Parliament for Homa Bay Town, Peter Kaluma, has taken to social media to express his pride and relief after seeing his daughter join the protests against the Finance Bill 2024.
In a video shared on his social media page, Kaluma is seen beaming with joy as he watches his middle-aged daughter march alongside her fellow protesters, waving a flag and showing her support for the cause.
The MP’s statement has left many scratching their heads, as earlier this week, he had threatened to conduct DNA tests on his sons if they did not join the protests.
“Any child of mine who does not join other Kenyan children in the streets this Tuesday against excessive taxation and government corruption will face a DNA test!” he had said.
It appears that Kaluma’s daughter has taken his words to heart, and her father is now celebrating her participation in the protests.
“Here I no longer need to do DNA, my daughter!” he exclaimed in the video.
While some have interpreted Kaluma’s statement as a sign of his pride and appreciation for his daughter’s civic engagement, others have expressed concern about the MP’s earlier threat to conduct DNA tests on his sons.
The situation has left many wondering what message this sends to parents and children alike.
The Finance Bill 2024 protests continue to dominate headlines in Kenya, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability from the government.
