The comedian, however, said he was not interested in accepting the offer, arguing that doing so would make him lose the respect of his fans.
Butita went on to jokingly ask his followers to raise the same amount of money so that he could turn down the politician’s offer.
“Na mimi sitaki kuwakasirisha na sitaki kupoteza respect yenu na sitaki kuwa sellout, saa nilikuwa na suggest mnichangie hiyo Ksh 100 million ndio nisichukuwe hiyo ya politician, nichangieni juu sitaki kupoteza respect yenu,” he added.
He further proposed setting up a Paybill number through which his followers could contribute the money.
“Nitakuwa na issue paybill mnichangie Ksh 100 million, inaweza kuwa vizuri mkifanya hivyo in two weeks juu yeye alikuwa atoe next week so nyinyi mko na at least two weeks,” Butita further said.
