Eddie Butita Responds to KOT Criticism Over Interview with Ruto
Kenyan creative Eddie Butita has addressed the backlash he received from Kenyans on Twitter (KOT) following his interview with President William Ruto.
Criticism arose after a photo surfaced showing Butita alongside other journalists in an interview setup with the President. The photos were released shortly after President Ruto’s viral interview with Linus Kaikai, Eric Latiff, and Joe Ageyo.

Butita took to his Twitter account to respond:
“Now that many people are sending me this, let me address it. This is an interview just like the rest. These are different journalists from various digital media outlets. Is there a problem? Hakuna! You can’t bring down youths in the name of fighting for youths—double speak at its peak. SPM BUZZ was present, as well as Tuko, Kenyans, Uliza Link, among others. I see no issue with digital media entities conducting interviews just like mainstream outlets.”
The interview occurred a few weeks after Butita accompanied President William Ruto and his team on a trip to the US.

Here are some reactions to the photos:
@Mutuabrian_M: The more you explain, the more you spoil everything, rafiki.
@MwendiaJnr: Just do your work. No matter how hard you try to explain yourself, you can’t change a hater into a friend.
@Joshtety: Give us their channels so we can follow them, please. And their TikToks and social media accounts. We need to support them by following you as we have been following you.
@cleophasmatoke2: I have no problem seeing other young lads fighting for their space. Those young men and women sacrificed their time to create content for their followers. Let them be! We can’t keep fighting imaginary enemies unless we want to form gangs in our country
