<p>Renowned political scientist Mutahi Ngunyi has cautioned President William Ruto not to be casual with the protests </p>

<p>Ngunyi noted that historically, revolutions start in small installments noting that going by the crowds that turned up for the Friday Saba Saba protests is a groundswell.</p>

<p><em>“Revolutions are started in small instalments - Little by Little. Then they acquire a life of their own. Today, France is burning. In 1789, when the French people asked the Oligarchs to drop the price of bread, they told them: "...If you can not eat bread; eat cake"</em> Ngunyi wrote.</p>

<p>In a subsequent tweet accompanied by a video of protesters who responded to Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga, Ngunyi noted that he was scared by the crowds and cautioned the president not to be casual.</p>

<p><em>“This picture SCARED me. It is a groundswell. You cannot buy these multitudes. And you can kill the messenger but not the message. The enemy is not Raila. The enemy is the People. These people have nothing to lose except their chains. Don't be casual.”</em> He added.</p>

<p><strong>Raila celebrates accessing CBD during Saba Saba protests</strong></p>

<p>His comment came after the opposition leader accessed Nairobi CBD after his supporters clashed with the police who had lined up the streets.</p>

<p><em>“We made a major achievement because we were able to access the CBD even though </em><a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/live-blog-raila-odinga-speaks-after-getting-to-nairobi-cbd-in-saba-saba-maandamano/tjjgvvw"><em>police tried to stop us</em></a><em>,” </em>Odinga said, declaring that <em>“We are unstoppable.”</em></p>

<p>In previous protests, police managed to keep Odinga and his supporters out of the CBD and yesterday’s development was hailed by the opposition chief who also announced that the protests would continue next week on Wednesday. </p>

<p><em>“After this successful rally, we are going to have another one on Wednesday next week.” </em>He added.</p>

<p>Protests were also reported in other major towns in the country such as Kisii, Kisumu and Mombasa.&nbsp;</p>

Don’t be casual – Mutahi Ngunyi cautions Ruto as Raila celebrates accessing CBD

<p>Renowned political scientist Professor Mutahi Ngunyi has faulted President William Ruto and his cabinet for the current state of Kenya’s economy and several decisions made by the Kenya Kwanza administration.</p>

<p>Ngunyi noted that in<a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/president-william-ruto-piles-pressure-on-cabinet-to-act-fast-in-delivering-promises/wc1jeqd"> just three months of Ruto administration</a>, Kenya’s economy has dropped from the 6<sup>th</sup> largest economy in the continent to the 8<sup>th</sup> position.</p>

<p><em>“Dear CABINET, Kenya was the 6th largest Economy in Africa. In three months, it DROPPED to the 8th position as per IMF.”</em> Ngunyi noted.</p>

<p>He also alleged that economic growth has slowed down significantly within the same duration.</p>

<p><em>“In September the economy grew by 9.3%. By December it dropped to 4.7%. This is your RECORD.”</em> He added.</p>

<p>On the matter of subsidies Ngunyi opined that it was a wrong move to halt subsidies on essential commodities such as fuel. </p>

<p><em>“And you are wrong on subsidies. subsidies are the opium of the masses</em>,” he concluded.</p>

<p><strong>Kenyans weigh in with mixed reactions</strong></p>

<p>Netizens weighed in on the matter with some pointing out that the country was on the wrong path while others called for patience, noting that the Kenya Kwanza administration has a solid plan and should be <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/ruto-i-cannot-risk-the-lives-of-the-people-who-voted-for-me/lvnk4rk">given time and space to deliver</a>.</p>

<p>@barufred: <em>Give President Ruto a chance to revive this economy. After all, Rome was not built in a day.</em></p>

<p>@makaoko: <em>Subsidies are tools of development in public economic policy, are used to attack an economic problem at production, market level or at consumption, to promote growth &amp; welfare here in Kenya, fertilizer, fuel, essential products subsidies corrupted, full of dishonesty &amp; stealing.</em></p>

<p>@aleckeei: <em>But prof subsidies are taking money away from our economy sometimes to other jurisdictions and for the few who benefit from in it locally are very few to uplift our status ranking in the IMF or our GDP Are you suggesting we don't have better options?</em></p>

<p>@mallan_carol: <em>3months to elections,subsidies will do a comeback.</em></p>

<p>@timnesta: <em>Hahaha growing economy na hakuna pesa.? At least now job opportunities are increasing day by day. Economy bila kazi ni upuzi tu.</em></p>

<p>@KamauFranco: <em>The position is that we pay taxes. A portion of this money is used to the subsidies. This money goes into the pockets of very few people. Removing subsidies enables the government to finance the hustlers fund or pay back some of our loans. I support the latter.</em></p>

Mutahi Ngunyi's harsh judgement on Ruto's government causes mixed reactions

Brian Oruta

<p>Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has outlined 2 main reasons Deputy President William Ruto should be impeached.</p>

<p>Taking to Twitter, Ngunyi stated that the first reason the DP should not be in office is that he defected from Jubilee, the party that got him elected, and is now a member of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).</p>

<p>He went on to say that the Deputy President has abandoned his duties as Principal Assistant to the President and no longer goes to work.</p>

<p>“<em>GROUNDS for IMPEACHING Ruto. ONE. He has DEFECTED from Jubilee to UDA and is LYING to the Country that "...It is NOT what it seems". TWO. He has ABDICATED his responsibility as DP. He no longer GOES to work. What JUSTIFICATION does he have to KEEP the JOB?&nbsp;</em><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/UhuruOnSite?src=hashtag_click"><em>#UhuruOnSite</em></a>,” said Mutahi Ngunyi.</p>

<p>Mr. Ngunyi has been a great critic of Deputy President William Ruto and one of the biggest champions of the unity handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Opposition leader Raila Odinga.</p>

Mutahi Ngunyi on William Ruto's address - He was defiantly appointing himself co-President

What justification does he have to keep the job? – Mutahi Ngunyi

Mutahi Ngunyi states 2 reasons DP Ruto should be Impeached

Dennis Milimo

<p>Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi ignited a heated debate on Twitter after alleging that <a href="https://www.pulselive.co.ke/news/local/dp-rutos-debt-is-scheduled-to-be-paid-in-2032-mutahi-ngunyi-explains/qdrw7lg">Deputy President William Ruto </a>is response for the Gema (Kikuyu) rebellion against President Uhuru Kenyatta.</p>

<p>In a tweet, Ngunyi argued that DP Ruto has incited Kikuyu’s against his boss, but quickly noted that; <em>“Either Ruto is cheating the Kikuyus or the kikuyus are cheating the DP".</em></p>

<p><em>“William Ruto INCITED Kikuyus against Uhuru Kenyatta. The GEMA rebellion and Kikuyu POISON against Uhuru Kenyatta were all PRODUCED by Ruto systematically. But here is the GROUND TRUTH: Either Ruto is CHEATING the Kikuyus or the Kikuyus are CHEATING RUTO. And I am a Kikuyu” </em>reads Mutahi Ngunyi’s tweet.</p>

Either Ruto is cheating the Kikuyus or the Kikuyus are cheating Ruto- Ngunyi

William Ruto incited Kikuyus against Uhuru Kenyatta- Mutahi Ngunyi claims

<p>Kenyans on twitter have strongly disagreed with Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi, after he took to the platform to describe President Uhuru Kenyatta as a revolutionary leader.</p>

<p>In the tweet, Ngunyi said people must choose a side, and he had chosen the side of history, headed by President Kenyatta, noting that he has achieved more than what was achieved in 50 years since independence, in the 7 years he has been in office.</p>

<p>He went on to state that whoever does not agree with him can go ahead and sit on a pin, as he also called on Kenyans to take up a #Challenge57, where they will create a fun, creative song or dance video, highlighting what stands out for them, in the seven years President Uhuru Kenyatta has been in-charge.</p>

<p>“<em>SAY whatever you WANT, but Uhuru Kenyatta is a REVOLUTIONARY. Take the </em><a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/challenge57?src=hashtag_click"><em>#challenge57</em></a><em>. You must CHOOSE a SIDE. I choose HIS side of history. And if you disagree, YOU CAN SIT ON A PIN</em>,” wrote Mutahi Ngunyi.</p>

<p>In the poster he shared, the video with the most retweets will get a cash prize of Sh57,000.</p>

<p>Upon seeing his tweet, KoT went on to warn the political analyst, some accusing him of misleading President Uhuru Kenyatta.</p>

You only sound politically correct to naïve Kenyans-KoT

Kenyans strongly disagree with Mutahi Ngunyi’s statement on Uhuru being a Revolutionary

<p>Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has insisted that Kikuyu’s have political debts to pay, and that Deputy President William Ruto’s will be paid in the year 2032.</p>

<p>Taking to twitter, Ngunyi explained that Jaramogi Oginga Odinga made Mzee Jomo Kenyatta president of Kenya in 1962, and in 2002, his son Raila Odinga made former President Mwai&nbsp;Kibaki the Head of State.</p>

<p>He went on to state that if Jaramogi was a live today, he would be the first one to be paid, but since he passed, ODM leader Raila Odinga is second in line, and his debt will be paid in 2022.</p>

<p>The Professor of Political studies who has been a fierce critic of the way DP Ruto has been conducting himself, as he looks to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta asked that he be patient and wait for his time.</p>

<p>“<em>Kikuyus HAVE a DEBT to pay. In 1962, Jaramogi created the JOMO Presidency. Then Raila MADE Kibaki President in 2002. If Jaramogi was ALIVE, we would have PAID his DEBT first. SECOND in LINE for DEBT payment is RAILA in 2022. Ruto's DEBT is scheduled to be PAID in 2032. Be Patient</em>,” said Mutahi Ngunyi.</p>

Will Uhuru also demolish Mzee Moi’s property? Mutahi Ngunyi

Be patient - Ngunyi

Ruto's Debt is scheduled to be paid in 2032 – Mutahi Ngunyi explains

<p>On Thursday, Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi sent out a tweet saying that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s votes from the 2013 and 2017 elections were still intact, and that President Uhuru Kenyatta only needs 6 percent of the Central Kenya votes, to make him (Odinga) President.</p>

<p>He went on to state that the 6 percent votes, is half of all the votes in Kiambu County, where President Uhuru hails from.</p>

<p>The political analyst mentioned that Uhuru does not need Kikuyu’s, and 84 percent of them can follow Deputy President William Ruto if they want and they will still fail.</p>

<p>“<em>Raila had 44% of the VOTE in 2013 and 2017. It is still INTACT. Uhuru needs 6% of GEMA to make Raila President. This is half of KIAMBU or AKORINO women ONLY. Uhuru DOES NOT NEED Kikuyus. In fact, 84% of GEMA can follow RUTO if they want to. And they will still FAIL! Simple MATH</em>,” said Mutahi Ngunyi.</p>

<p>A section of Kenyans, including elected leaders reacted to his sentiments, many of them calling him out, as they insisted that his calculations were wrong.</p>

Whether Kenyans want BBI or not, Uhuru & Raila will win- Mutahi Ngunyi

Uhuru does not need Kikuyu's

Kenyans react to Mutahi Ngunyi’s tweet that Uhuru needs 6% of GEMA to make Raila President

Tony Mukere

<p>A daughter and a niece to political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi have hit back at Elgeyo Marakwet Senators Kipchumba Murkomen who has been embroiled in a tweef with the man who came up with the tyranny of numbers concept. </p>

<p>Ngunyi and Murkomen have a long running twitter beef that sees them throw occasional attacks against each other. </p>

<p>However, the outspoken Senator on Sunday dragged Ngunyi's niece, Daisy Maritim Maina, into the fight after she wrote a scathing commentary against Murkomen on the Sunday Standard. </p>

<p>"<em>Bwana </em><a href="https://twitter.com/MutahiNgunyi"><em>@MutahiNgunyi</em></a><em> why are misusing you nephew’s wife </em><a href="https://twitter.com/DaisyMaina7"><em>@DaisyMaina7</em></a><em> That article was unnecessary, you already made the point on twitter</em>," the former Majority Leader tweeted on Sunday. </p>

<p>Daisy objected to the tag of being used, saying she was an intellectual of her own right and that she was expressing her right of opinion. </p>

<p>"<em>Afternoon Onesmus! </em><a href="https://twitter.com/kipmurkomen"><em>@kipmurkomen</em></a><em>, let me disabuse your misogynistic mind: I am an intellectual in my own right. I generate thought, I construct analysis and I dismantle simpletons. Mull on that, then we can discuss who between the two of us is being used. Hint: by William Ruto</em>," she responded. </p>

<p>The Senator hit back by accusing Ngunyi of misusing his family by making vitriol a "family harambee". </p>

<p>"<em>Onesmus, where's the debate when u're AVOIDING IT &amp; obsessing about my family tree? Yes Mutahi Ngunyi is my uncle! Now that we've cleared that up, pls explain to us why we should ignore 'brick and mortar' development and focus on your boss </em><a href="https://twitter.com/WilliamsRuto"><em>@WilliamsRuto</em></a><em>'s emotions</em>," she opined. </p>

<p>On Tuesday, Ngunyi's daughter, June Mutahi, also weighed in on the debate through the political analyst's <em>Fifth Estate</em> video column. </p>

<p>"<em>This camp is not just about insulting the President but it goes beyond abuse to disrespect. For this camp, they would rather have uneducated electorate than people who understand what their government is doing for them. If they want to be noisemakers, by all means let them</em>," June stated. </p>

<p>Daisy, who was also part of the video column, used the show to condemn the Senator's politics terming them soap-opera politics. </p>

<p>"<em>You know I have an issue with Murkomen. He went on national television and tell us that the President's legacy would not be on infrastructure but on his relationship with his deputy. Really? Does the relationship feed the people? did we vote for a love story?</em>"</p>

<p>"<em>Ruto's feelings do not contribute to our GDP and its tragic leaders like Murkomen use soap-opera politics in governance</em>," Daisy said. </p>

<p>Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has responded to political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi after he put up a poll saying that the soul of GEMA nation was on sale and the auctioneer was Deputy President William Ruto.</p>

<p>In his response, Kuria said that it was the Constitutional duty of the GEMA people to choose who to support even if the decision is stupid.</p>

<p>He then told off Ngunyi, asking him to take his so called intelligence to Bondo and stop insulting the GEMA Nation.</p>

<p>“<em>Dear </em><a href="https://twitter.com/MutahiNgunyi"><em>@MutahiNgunyi</em></a><em> stop insulting the GEMA Nation. It is our constitutional right to be stupid or even to take rat poison for breakfast. Take your intelligence to Bondo</em>,” tweeted Moses Kuria.</p>

<p>Mutahi Ngunyi’s poll asked the GEMA people if they should either fight back or surrender because Ruto has won, or recall MPs and Senators.</p>

<p>“<em>The SOUL of GEMA Nation is on SALE. And the AUCTIONEER is William Ruto. Fight or NOT?</em>” read Ngunyi’s tweet.</p>

You can only interview me after Uhuru, Raila's permission - Moses Kuria after latest blunder

Stop insulting the GEMA Nation - Kuria

<p>Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has said that Economist David Ndii has a record of mental illness after saying that the only way Deputy President William Ruto can fight President Uhuru Kenyatta is by killing him.</p>

<p>In a tweet seen by <strong>Pulse Live</strong>, Ngunyi said that before arresting Ndii, they should remember that he has a case of clinical mental illness which explains his unusual way of reasoning.</p>

<p>“<em>David Ndii has ADVISED William Ruto to Murder his BOSS in order to SURVIVE. Before you ARREST him REMEMBER this: David Ndii has a CLINICAL RECORD of Mental Illness. And this EXPLAINS his NIHILISM and BIZZARE thinking, including SECESSION. The Boy is clinically SICK in the HEAD!</em>” said Mutahi Ngunyi.</p>

<p>The analyst’s words came shortly after Dr. Ndii in response to a twitter follower who asked for the best strategy the DP could use to defeat President Uhuru, in the wake of recent political happenings.</p>

<p>Ndii sensationally responded by saying that the DP should "murder his boss".</p>

<p>Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has gone harm on ousted Senate Majority leader Senator Kipchumba Murkomen stating that it was his team that first betrayed President Uhuru Kenyatta.</p>

<p>In a tweet, Ngunyi said that the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator and others allied to Deputy President William Ruto undermined the president as they quoted the bible to cover their underhand doings.</p>

<p>He went ahead to say that they first sabotaged the president, and now that they are out, he will work and deliver on his mandate to Kenyans.</p>

<p>“<em>GROW UP My FREN </em><a href="https://twitter.com/kipmurkomen/"><em>@kipmurkomen</em></a><em>. You rattled the SYSTEM. And YES, Uhuru Kenyatta will NOW DELIVER. Your CAMP Undermined him from WITHIN then QUOTED the BIBLE to cover your WICKEDNESS. In fact, you BETRAYED Uhuru first through SABOTAGE!”</em> said Mutahi Ngunyi.</p>

<p>"<em>I want to say to the President: Now, therefore, deliver for the people of Kenya</em>," the Elgeyo Marakwet Senator stated.</p>

<p>"<em>Murkomen is out of the way. If I was your stumbling block, deliver for the people of Kenya</em>," he added.</p>

You betrayed Uhuru first – Mutahi Ngunyi to Murkomen

<p>Renowned political analyst Prof Mutahi Ngunyi on Sunday cast doom on the prospects of Interior CS Fred Mating’i succeeding President Uhuru Kenyatta in the 2022 presidential election.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In his characteristic colorful analysis, Prof Ngunyi stated that the election process in Kenya is mostly decided through board rooms deals made by people with huge interests in the country’s wealth.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He stated that among the front runners, Matiang’i has little wealth to protect hence unlikely to be the choice of the board room decision makers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“<em>Politics is not about trust, it is about interests and interests are material in nature.&nbsp;Matiang’i, is poor, to put it bluntly. He has no interests to protect.</em></p>

<p>“<em>William Ruto has interests which he will protect alongside those of others. Gideon Moi has interests to protect. Raila Odinga, although he is a poor prince, has interests to protect including those of others. A guy who has no wealth will not feature in those boardroom decisions</em>,” Ngunyi stated.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He added that the Interior CS has no strong political roots, having worked in the NGO sector for most of his career until 2013 when he joined the Cabinet.</p>

<p>The political scientists said voters in Kenya have little choice on who becomes President as the establishment makes the decision and guides the country accordingly.</p>
