Friday September 13, 2019-Renowned law scholar Prof Makau Mutua has
waded into the 2022 succession debate, warning that the country will take a
dangerous route if two communities (the Kalenjin and Kikuyu) continue
dominating State House.
In a tweet on Friday, Mutua
opined that Kenya will head to the dogs if the next Head of State will be from
either the Kikuyu or Kalenjin communities.
"Take this to the
bank. The political experiment called Kenya will die if either a Kalenjin or
Kikuyu becomes Kenya’s PRESIDENT in 2022 — the only two groups that have
colonized that office since independence. Act wisely and thank me
later," the US-based lawyer said.
Out of the four Presidents
who have ruled Kenya since Independence, three hail from the central Kenya
region. They are; Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta.
The second Head of State
Daniel Arap Moi, who ruled for 24 years, was from the Kalenjin community.
Mutua's remarks are in
agreement with those of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, who said Kenyans are
not ready to be served by another president from the two communities.
Gem MP Elisha Odhiambo also
weighed in on the debate saying the two communities should give others a chance
to lead.
However, Deputy President
William Ruto maintains the 2022 succession debate should be based on
competency, not ethnicity.
"We supported and
voted for Uhuru to succeed Kibaki not because of ethnicity but competence. He
is not leader of any ethnic community but that of Jubilee, the largest
political party with MCA's, MPs and Governors in 41 of 47 counties and
President of Kenya. Please avoid these issues of tribalism (Muwache kasumba ya
ukabila pls) (sic)," the DP said.

ReplyDeleteKeep your arrogance to yourself - it's only need in America where zombies like you are relevant on nothing.
You can be a president of any nation on earth a part from your own house and toilet.
America assimilation as the French do, would make Kenyans elect you for real.
Take your hate of the dp to your parasitical sponsors whom are fixed on soiling the dp each and every day.
If you are man enough, go soil yourself and that is the measure applied both in heaven and on earth pimp!
My friend, concentrate with America coz that's where you belong. We are Kenyans and no longer have tribal boundaries. Anyone can vie for presidency in kenya. Keep your bullshit to yourself. Kenyans we are one.
