Human Rights activist Okiya Omtata has accused President Uhuru Kenyatta of behaving like a king and a monarch.
In an interview on Citizen TV on Wednesday, Omtata said that the commander-in-chief is no longer behaving like someone who is being paid with taxpayers money.
He advised Uhuru to take a step back and know that he is exercising limited power within the constitution.
"Increasingly, Pres. Kenyatta is behaving like a king, a monarch and not someone who earns a salary paid by tax payers and that’s where he needs to go back and know that he exercises limited power within the constitution," Omtata said.
The activist had been asked about where Uhuru should draw a line between fear and respect.
On his part, Amnesty Safety and Dignity Manager Demas Kiprono said that freedom of speech in Kenya is under threat.
Looking at what happened in Mwiki and Kasarani, the panellist said that the demonstration over the poor road was such a great way to portray freedom of speech.
"Freedom of speech in Kenya is under threat. What happened in Mwiki, Kasarani, is a form of speech. I wonder whether there is only one truth with BBI or only one position that is the cure it all for our problems," Kiprono said.
