Renowned artist and reality TV star Bahati penned a late-night letter to President William Ruto as anti-finance bill protests rock Kenya.
Bahati was appealing to the head of State to listen to Kenyans who are opposing the Finance Bill 2024.
The artist had previously engaged in politics as he was vying for an MP seat but lost under the Jubilee party in the 2022 General elections.
His first letter read'
Dear Mr President have Read, understood, and Rejected the 2024 Finance Bill. One thing that does not sit well with me is the New Taxes imposed on the Creatives. With so Much Burden We do so much to Entertain and It's unfair to Take away the Little We have Left to feed our Families. Therefore; as for Me, My Wife, and Kids We #RejecttheFinanceBill2024 ✍Regards, Bahati.
