" I Eddie Butita #RejectFinanceBill2024. It is time to listen. We cannot be all wrong. Hayaa basi, Gen Z nitafutieni tshirt kali nireport kwa ofisi," he said.
He admitted facing criticism for not publicly stating his position on the Finance Bill 2024.
He stated that he understands the frustration and disconnect many feel with the current system, adding that it is clear that there is a need for a proper structure to ensure 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."
He noted that "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," he said.
"I want the best for my countrymates, family, friends, and colleagues. All said and done, it is time to publicly make my position official."
