“I understand the frustration and disconnect many feel with the current system. We need a proper structure to ensure our voices are heard and represented effectively. Often, our leaders lose touch with those they represent. The results are what is happening currently,” he said.

“Over the years, I have shied away from making political stands, but I agree this is not a political moment, with my status, my silence is not warranted. It "creases."

“The Finance Bill, as it stands, is not okay. I played a role and submitted my concerns and will do it again when needed because I am a citizen and a businessman. I want the best for my countrymates, family, friends, and colleagues.

All said and done, it is time to publicly make my position official. I Eddie Butita #RejectFinanceBill2024. It is time to listen. We cannot all be wrong. Hayaa basi, Gen Z nitafutieni tshirt kali nireport kwa ofisi,”.
