Renowned Kenyan comedian and creative director Eddie Butita is embarking on a new project inspired by the murder case of businesswoman Monica Kimani.

Expressing enthusiasm for the script, Butita revealed that the project is influenced by the complex and prolonged legal proceedings involving Joseph Jowie Irungu and former TV personality Jacque Maribe.

Following the court's verdict, Butita took to X on Friday, February 9, 2024, emphasizing that it's the opportune moment to narrate the story.

"I have been working on a great script inspired by Jacque and Jowie's case. Finally, the judgment is out, now let us tell the story. Script mode activated," shared Butita.
