Governments the world over, whenever they give their version on events of great public interest, they aren’t believed much.
Granted, from time to time, Govt’s need to spin matters here and there especially when things are bungled and public opinion is building out of favour.
A clinical example here is the Muslim Cleric death of last week, in Mombasa.
Whether or not the Government had an hand in it, you would be out of your mind to expect it to own up, or stay mum despite the building tension and speculation on the issue.
Till yesterday, the Government’s mouth piece has been one Alfred Mutua.
The position he has been putting forth is that of the Government - read KIBAKI!
It is unreasonable to hold that he has been solely originating the statements/stand points that he used to put forth in the name of the Government.
Now what I find curious is that while hating on Mutua on account of unfavourable govt postion, half the critics are not known to critique the piper himself – Kibaki.On the contrary, whenever Kibaki is crticised, they are quick to come to his defence! – case in point Abdinasir and Jirongo criticism on suitability of upgrading Thika road to its current state and the budget it gobbled.
Kibaki himself seems comfortable with A. Mutua, and even went ahead to endorse and campaign for him for the seat he wants to run for!

Quote:
He also defended his decision to join Wiper saying it was the most popular party in Machakos.
“Wiper Democratic Movement is the most popular party in Machakos. Kenyan politics is regional and you have to board the bus that takes you to the direction you desire. If I was running for governor in Homa Bay County, I would definitely be a life member of ODM,” Dr Mutua said
That what I call being pragmatic  It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt...

I think he's a brilliant fellow. He's brought us such great things as Cobra squad. He's a genius and even walked all the way to South Africa.  People be wise posting here lest you find some guys arresting you for abusing the Stone Gardens of Mombasa road. Jose: If I make it through this thug life, I'll see you one day.

I'm still wondering how many people will queue to vote for him. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

The Machakos Gov seat will be one derby, they have Muthama - Kangundo Charles Kilonzo - Yatta Mutua Katuku - Mwala Wavinya Ndeti- Athiriver Alfie - MAchakos This one will be interesting to watch, I wonder who wants to be senator.

I don't understand why Kenyans hate this guy, he was qualified for the job and clearly had the passion to go with it. I've always blamed the media for his downfall, they were just not ready to embrace the concept of of a "govt spokesman". I really don't think he used to receive any briefs from the govt.....most of what he used to release was probably info collected by his office. Kibaki usually uses the Presidential Presss Service as his official mouthpiece and i believe the PM also has his, sasa kazi ya Mutua ni gani? If MK really valued the guy he would have appointed him as the head of PPS. In the US you have the White Press Secretary who is the spokesperson for the govt, that's similar to the PPS.
Mutua had a lot of time in his hands and probably that's why he ventured into the film industry. As for his political ambitions well i think he's definitely better than those other crooks.
