The all-powerful Interior Cabinet Secretary Dr Fred Matiang'i has had pundits divided as to whether he would make a good president or not.
Pundits led by political analyst Dr Onyango Ochieng Jnr opine that the Interior CS could make Kenya’s next best president.
However, blogger Albert Nyakundi Amenya popularly known as Banana Peddler argues that Matiang’i is best positioned to be a CS and not the president.
According to Nyakundi, those who are supporting Matiang'i for the presidency will be the first ones to complain once he gets it, because they will not have the freedom they enjoy now.
"I am sure that the internet will be regulated," he says in a video posted on his Facebook page.
He further opines that Matiang'i's track record in different ministries cannot translate to flawless leadership for the whole country.
He points out that the Interior CS has in the past showed “dictatorial tendencies” which are a disservice to a national leader.
Nyakundi gave an example of when Matiang'i blocked the media from airing the unofficial swearing-in ceremony of Raila Odinga as 'People's President' on January 30 2018.
Further, he cited, the number of times the CS has allegedly defied court orders.
"I believe that presidency does not need somebody who leads people the Hitler style, it doesn't need somebody who is a dictator but Matiang'i has all the qualities of a dictator," he argues.
