Share
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has resurfaced after skipping the crucial Finance Bill 2026 vote, issuing a public apology and admitting he failed to meet expectations.
His absence came during a late-night parliamentary sitting on Wednesday, June 18, 2026, when Members of Parliament voted on the Bill at the Third Reading.
During the session, 122 MPs voted in favour while 40 opposed the Bill, marking its final passage in the National Assembly after weeks of intense debate and amendments.
Following days of public backlash, Ndindi Nyoro acknowledged the disappointment he caused by missing the high-stakes vote.
“I want to take this very first opportunity to apologize to Kenyans for the disappointment I caused them last week during the Finance Bill vote,” he said.

“It is not the way I do things. Nilikosea hapo, it was not applying the duty, have been trying to do as much as possible when it comes to governance in this country, especially anything to do with public finances,” he stated.
He then described the incident as a learning moment and pledged to improve his accountability moving forward.
“Whatever happened, we have learned from it to do better and to be better representatives of the people,” he added.
