Bobi Wine sends special message to Kenyan youth.

Ugandan politician Bobi Wine has written an encouraging message to Kenyans amid the peaceful protests against the Finance Bill 2024. 

This week, simultaneous activities are taking place across the country as Kenyans express their opposition to the controversial bill.

Mr Wine urged Kenyans to fiercely protect their freedoms, saying, “Power to you, young people of Kenya. You are speaking, and your voices are being heard far beyond the Kenyan border. We hope your leaders too are listening! We continue to stand in solidarity with you,” he concluded with a fist symbol.

Many other international celebrities have shown their support for the Kenyan youth by sharing posters of demonstrations and other banners. 

This has endeared them to the youth. More Kenyan celebrities are being urged to make their stance known. 

Content creator Eddie Butita has faced heavy criticism for remaining silent. Over the past weekend, he succumbed to pressure and issued a statement voicing support for the protests.

“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,” Butita said.

He added, “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.”

“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 concluded.
