Mutahi Ngunyi, a political scientist, has faced negative reactions on Twitter after making comments about Raila, with many Kenyans expressing disappointment and criticizing his stance.
Ngunyi's consultancy firm, Consulting House, had previously received Sh38.9 million for consultancy services related to the NYS 5-Point Vision Strategy. The firm was one of several that offered consultancy to NYS without any advertisements for the work, raising questions about how the tender was awarded.
Ngunyi has also been linked to President Uhuru Kenyatta's 2017 campaign strategy team, alongside other figures such as Peter Kagwanja. His tweets have been seen as anti-Raila, prompting accusations of bias and a loss of credibility.
In a recent tweet, Ngunyi suggested that Raila should be put on trial, with the charge being selfishness. The tweet was met with widespread criticism, with many users accusing Ngunyi of being driven by tribal hate and of being a hypocrite.
Some of the reactions to Ngunyi's tweet included:
- Victoria Odipo: expressed surprise at Ngunyi's hateful comments
- Daktari Nonyoski: accused Ngunyi of being driven by tribal hate towards Raila
- Nelson Obonyo: described Ngunyi as a disgrace to all Kenyans, not just Kikuyus
- Evans Kwede: suggested that Ngunyi was trying to win another contract with the Jubilee government
- Grace Kamau: accused Ngunyi of being a tribal chauvinist
Ngunyi's actions and comments have raised questions about his credibility and motivations, particularly in light of his involvement in the NYS scandal and his links to the Kenyatta campaign.
