Following Kenya’s President William Ruto’s decision to call off the controversial Financial Bill 2024 after three days of massive protests, global reactions continue to pour in.

The demonstrations, which resulted in the tragic loss of lives and property, have prompted a wave of international commentary on the President’s move.

One notable response comes from prominent Ugandan songstress Azawi, real name Priscilla Zawedde.

Azawi has drawn parallels between President Ruto’s decision to heed the voice of the Kenyan people and her own call for Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to address the country’s long-standing issues with corruption, which have persisted for over 40 years.

Azawi expressed her dismay over the state of corruption in Uganda, criticizing legislators for their failure to combat the rampant issue. “Ruto has finally listened to the Kenyan people. When will our President, H.E Kaguta Museveni, listen to the outcry over corruption? It’s been 40 years and nothing has been done. Some of our legislators are even shamelessly condoning it! What is he afraid of?” she tweeted.

She further voiced her frustration over the high taxes deducted from her music royalties and other earnings, stating that she does not benefit from these taxes as a taxpayer.

“The taxes I pay off the royalties I make drain me, and it hurts more to hear that the money doesn’t benefit me as a taxpayer. Funayo akasigiri okasse ku mutwe, it’s too cold in there!” she added.

Azawi’s statements have garnered significant attention online and sparked public debate, especially as many are surprised by her recent involvement in political and social issues.

Her outspoken stance has resonated with many Ugandans who share her concerns about corruption and the misuse of public funds.

The Kenyan protests and Ruto’s subsequent decision have highlighted the power of public outcry and the importance of responsive leadership.

As Azawi and others continue to call for accountability and change, it remains to be seen how these events will influence the political landscape in both Kenya and Uganda.
