‘The only way to transform Kenya is to break the law’ – Mutahi Ngunyi tells Ruto
Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi now claims that President William Ruto should break the law to transform the country.
In a statement, Ngunyi claimed that Kenya is enjoying the fruits of multipartism because individuals disobeyed court orders and protested former President Daniel Moi's administration.
While insisting that the Saba Saba protests of 1990 changed the tunes of democracy in the country, Ngunyi stressed that Kenya would have been trapped in dictatorship like Rwanda and Uganda had the few individuals not broken the law.
"Dear Ruto: The only way to transform Kenya is to break the law. If we did not disobey court orders in the Saba Saba of 1990, Kenya would still be a one party dictatorship like Rwanda and Uganda. Damn the law," he wrote.
He, at the same time, acknowledged that he was agreeing with the president's sustained attacks on the Judiciary accusing it of being corrupt.
He referred his remarks to the firing of 30 judges by former Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs Kiraitu Murungi in 2003.
"Dear Ruto: You are dead right. The Judiciary is corrupt to the core and from the core. Kiraitu Murungi fired 30 Judges in 2003 for corruption. As the Executive you must drain this swamp. Do it for the PEOPLE despite the people. One man with god is in the majority. Drain the swamp," he added.
Ngunyi's remarks follow after President Ruto launched a tirade against the Martha Koome-led Judiciary claiming that corrupt judicial officers were collaborating with corrupt individuals to stall his developmental projects.
The President stressed that his administration will remain hell-bent on ending judicial impunity and ensure that all key projects in his agenda are actualised. He also encouraged the Executive to defy orders that 'stall' his development agenda.
"Our Judiciary, we respect you but judicial impunity by corrupt judicial officers must stop in Kenya. We will stop it and whatever it takes," he stated.
"Ati sasa hii barabara mahakama imesema tusijenge..tungoje Judiciary mpaka ituambie tujenge..baas bwana PS Mbugua weka pesa kwa hii barabara tuanze kazi," he added.
