President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto have tricked the Kikuyu and Kalenjin communities into 'blindly' supporting them.
While citing the president's campaigns ahead of the 2013 general election, Mutua said that Uhuru had manipulated the position his father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta had held among the Kikuyu community and used it to seek political sympathy from the masses.
He said that like Jomo Kenyatta was targetted by the British unfairly ahead of independence, Uhuru was also being unfairly targetted by the Hague so as to kill African nationalism.
"Kenyatta invoked the image of his father – the Burning Spear himself – in chains at Kapenguria in a white man’s prison unjustly convicted by the British Empire for seeking to break the yoke of colonialism and free Africans," he said in an araticle published by the Standard.
Makau said that Jubilee strongholds played into the trick, with voters here going to the ballot to the last person so as to save their kinsmen from the yoke of 'White' humiliation.
"It’s indisputable Jubilee’s strongholds of central Kenya and the Rift Valley voted to the last man – and woman – for their kith and kin. Kikuyus and Kalenjins were convinced a Raila victory would have their sons on the next plane to The Hague for a date with Bensouda. They were played like a flute by Kenyatta and Ruto. It was that bilious ethnic mobilisation and the shenanigans at the IEBC that robbed Raila and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka victory," he said.
"It’s clear that Kenyatta and Ruto intend to whip up the emotions of their ethnic strongholds by running against CJ Maraga and the Supreme Court. Their argument is simple and easy – the people elected them but the “unelected” CJ Maraga and the Supreme Court stole their victory in collusion with Raila and NASA," Mutua said.
