He probably realized that you cant fool all the people all the time, through some warped logic and intellectual dishonesty.For this, i stopped buying/reading the Sunday nation many many weeks ago.He's ridiculously, vain.The complete face of vanity, without any rational solution to issues he writes about.

Am surprised that many people take Mutahi so seriously - he keeps stating in his pieces that he shouldnt be taken too seriously. All you need is to read his pieces with a light touch. Failure to do this you will be disappointed. Without question he is a good writer but he is no soothsayer for those of you that want him to read your palms for you.

His articles are very good for 'political entertainment'.However, he is seriour about some stuff he writes e.g the constitution,he is totally convinced that the draft is horrible

I choose to differ on this one. Many say he is entertaining...don't read between the lines blah blah blah. Question is how many of us think he is just a goofy, humorous guy, not to be taken seriously, I believe that he eschews a very dangerous message, a divisive message. We are still recovering from the post election violence and the trauma it inflicted on so many. We need people to preach peace, to unite us, to celebrate our diversity. I also believe in free speech but he pushes the boundaries so far whether in pursuit of fame or fortune.

I still remember how it all started in Rwanda..a little known radio station talking of "cutting the tall trees" . The rest is history.They live with the scars to this very day . I honestly believe just like the politicians, the majority who read his column take it very very seriously. When you repeat a lie so many times, it becomes true to most.

Oops, didn't even realize the bozzo is missing!
This idea of reading stories/ email forwards and tryin to liken to them to kenya's very peculiar politics is a lot of cow dung that no one should ever take seriously

@Mpenzi said..

Please quote any piece where Mutahi is putting forward a divisive message or hate speech. Or is analysing various scenarios and pointing out problematic areas in the Proposed Constitution hate speech and/or divisive?


@Mpenzi,an example....

Mutahi Ngunyi claims that the draft allows the Armed forces to unionise, meaning if they feel aggrieved (like college guys or teachers) ,they could simply hit the streets and start shooting in the air in protest or perhaps vent their anger by shooting anyone on site….that is the implication….

Article 24 (5) of the Bill of Rights makes specific exemptions of the Armed Forces and Police Service from joining trade unions or participating in protests.

The implication here is that it is possible to have a "rouge army or police force" who would be aggrieved because they did not get that 15 % pay hike promised last month. Nothing could be further from the truth.

He does. And it is.

I suspect Ngunyi has been put on administrative leave since that painfully correct analysis of the draft vs 2012 election objectives (June 19). You see, Kenya is under the grip of the Yesers ... truth supporting the view of the Noers is met with insults and false accusations. So it is quite likely Ngunyi has been told in some very effective manner to "shut the F***k up". I hope he is well.

Ngunyi is a political scientist. He does not create the politics. He only analyzes it. Blame the messenger and decieve yourself.
