A hacker group codenamed ‘Anonymous’ has warned Kenyan Members of Parliament over the passing of the Finance Bill, 2024.
In a message shared on their official X account, the hacker group said that it has come to their attention that the MPs want to pass a Bill that will heavily tax the people of Kenya.
“It has come to our attention that there are discussions in parliament to pass the Finance Bill, which will unfairly tax the citizens of Kenya,” they said.
Anonymous said that efforts by Kenyans to hold peaceful demonstrations against the Bill have been met with harassment and arrests from the police.
The group warned that with the phone numbers of some of the MPs public, their secrets may soon be made public.
“Fortunately, several phone numbers belonging to members of parliament are circulating online. Soon, there will be an uprising of hackers, many of whom may reside in your home country.
“Your secrets may no longer be safe, and there is a chance that all these secrets will be exposed.”
They said that just like many Kenyans, they do not want the Finance Bill to be amended.
Instead, they want the MPs to reject it in totality.
Anonymous urged the legislators to listen to the cries of Kenyans.
