Political affairs consultant Ngunjiri Wambugu has linked Cord leader Raila Odinga to the national school unrest which has hit the country.
Wambugu in one of his opinion pieces drew a rather close connection between the burning of schools and Raila's political history.
“As regards the connection between him and the school fire, I thought it was obvious no one needed to point it out. Raila believed in the ideology that the end justifies the means,” Ngunjiri stated.
The political aspirant pointed out three instances where Rails used violence to realise his ideologies and beliefs.
Wambugu pinpointed the 1982 attempted coup, the 2007/2008 Post Election Violence and most recently the anti-IEBC demonstrations
The political analyst noted that the Cord leader had set a bad precedent to high schools students who have now adopted his violent tactics to push their agenda.
“Students in high school have been following this doyen of opposition politics, reading about his exploits and watching him on TV. They have seen him and his supporters get away with holding demonstrations where people throw stones at the police, burn vehicles, destroy buildings and injure innocent members of the public,” Wambugu wrote.
“Raila's cause somehow always progresses while no one is held responsible for the destruction,” he added.
Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi had also made scathing remarks saying Raila is the biggest beneficiary in the ongoing school unrest.
"The question we must beg is the following, who is the major beneficiary of national crisis? And my hypothesis is as follows – without a crisis, there is no Cord. Being a consumer of national crisis in this country for the last two to three years has been Cord . So long as we have had a national crisis Cord has been together. You remove the crisis Corddegenerates," Ngunyi said.
