Eddie Butita Loses His YouTube Channel After Rejecting Finance Bill 2024

Comedian Eddie Butita recently found himself at the center of a heated debate after Kenyans concluded that he was supporting the controversial Finance Bill 2024. Initially neutral in his public statements, Butita faced a storm of backlash from netizens who demanded clarity on his stance.

In response to the uproar, Butita has now made his position clear: he does not support the Finance Bill 2024. Addressing the criticisms he faced, Butita stated,

"Recently, I have faced criticism for not publicly stating my position on the Finance Bill 2024. I want to address the issue directly and share the state of affairs surrounding my recent actions. I understand the frustration and disconnect many feel with the current system. It is clear that 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."

Butita went a step further by announcing his intention to join the demonstrations planned for tomorrow, cementing his opposition to the bill.

"All said and done, it is time to publicly make my position official. 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 added, calling on the youth to prepare for the protests.

The comedian's outspoken rejection of the Finance Bill follows a significant drop in his YouTube subscribers after his initial comments. In a surprising twist, Butita's YouTube channel, which boasted over 350,000 subscribers, vanished a day after he publicly declared his opposition to the bill. A search conducted by this writer confirmed that the channel is currently missing.

It remains unclear whether Butita deactivated his account voluntarily or if it was taken down due to multiple reports from disgruntled subscribers. However, Butita has reassured his fans that the channel will be back soon.

As the situation unfolds, Butita's bold move to reject the Finance Bill 2024 and his upcoming participation in the demonstrations are sure to keep him in the public eye.
