Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi warns President Ruto over his hardline stance against Azimio leader Raila Odinga.
President William Ruto has been warned by political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi that the country will suffer as a result of his strong approach against the Opposition during upcoming weekly protests.
He claimed that when his predecessor, Uhuru Kenyatta became aware of this, he reached out to Raila Odinga for a cease-fire and prevented the nation’s financial collapse.
“Dear Ruto: The economy lost 1 billion shillings every hour during the “Teargas Mondays”. This forced Uhuru to listen to Raila,” Ngunyi said in a tweet on Wednesday.
“Your hardline position and “Kaka Sungura” wit cannot end well. Bishops will not tell you this,” he added.
Mutahi Ngungyi’s remarks came hours after Ruto reiterated that he will not allow impunity to reign supreme on his watch.
Ruto warned that the government will not allow anyone to sabotage the economy by disrupting businesses.

“Such impunity must be dealt with firmly and full accountability enforced to vindicate Kenya’s commitments as a free market economy,” Ruto said.
He spoke while presiding over Laptrust Imara I-reit listing on the Nairobi Securities Exchange at the Exchange Building, 55 Westlands Road, Nairobi.
Azimio leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday declared weekly mass protests on Mondays and Thursdays.
“We reiterate to our supporters and all patriotic Kenyans that this struggle is just starting. We are not looking back and we will not be intimidated. No retreat, no surrender,” Raila said.
