Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has hit out at President Uhuru Kenyatta and his political foe-turned-friend Raila Odinga over their March 9 handshake.
Ngunyi, speaking in his weekly The 5th Estate commentary, said the primary objective of the handshake is to ‘finish William Ruto’.
The renowned analyst, who starts his commentary by declaring that he is an ardent support and follower of Jesus Christ, says like the carpenter from Nazareth ‘he must speak the truth’.
“This Christmas season I want to declare that I am a follower of the carpenter of Nazareth. I am believer of the cross and its power …this Christmas I must celebrate the birth of this carpenter and that is why I am inspired to speak the truth about the handshake. The handshake is a conspiracy to finish William Ruto, it will fall flat,” the analyst said.
Mutahi Ngunyi opines that though Ruto might be a ‘mkora’, the carpenter of Nazareth taught people to embrace contradictions ‘because they are the midwives of change’.
“Ruto is a contradiction and maybe this is what will make him a king,” Ngunyi said.
