Economist David Ndii, recently made a statement that has sparked mixed reactions and left many scratching their heads. In response to those who have issues with the Finance Bill, Ndii said, "Sit down, write an alternative budget."

At first glance, the statement may seem straightforward and even logical. After all, if you're not happy with something, why not come up with an alternative? However, the reality is that writing a budget is no easy task. It requires a keen eye for detail, a solid understanding of financial concepts, and the ability to juggle numbers like a circus performer.

Ndii's statement was obviously meant to be humorous, a tongue-in-cheek jab at his favourite targets. The complainers who never take action. Or maybe he was being serious, urging those who are unhappy with the Finance Bill to take matters into their own hands. Regardless of his intentions, his statement has generated quite a buzz.

Most have taken to social media to express their thoughts on the matter, with some applauding Ndii for his straightforward approach and others questioning his understanding of the complexities involved in budget writing. Some have even taken up his challenge, but only with various hard hitting jabs, online.

Despite the mixed reactions, one thing is for sure: writing an alternative budget is no easy feat. So if you're going to take up Ndii's challenge, you better bring your A-game.
