Mutahi Ngunyi Just Loves Controversy Nothing Else

Kenya :

Mutahi Ngunyi you ought to respect the girl child, we are way past the days of male chauvinism, i wonder why you decided to liken Raila Odinga to a house girl, i don’t know why men should always associate women on the lower side of the bargain.

That aside...

This nation columnist: MUTAHI NGUNYI, is a man who practices double stands, today he will say Raila is the man to unite kenya tomorrow he will say the opposite, what has been annoying most is that this man is on a personal mission (i don’t know if there is a force behind his actions) to derail the reputation of the Prime minister of Kenya.

Mutahi Ngunyi Just Loves Controversy Nothing Else

Mutahi claims that Raila Odinga is all over doing everything and the way Mutahi wants to portray the PM is that the PM now is a housgirl doing chores delegated by the house master .

My brother you are very wrong and you need to think again,when you say that the PM is doing things haphazardly you are only but giving us questioning minds as to whether you are being somebody’s house help to tarnish the CV of the PM or you are being confused.

I want you to understand one thing Mr.Mutahi when the prime minister is everywhere he doesn’t want to please you or anyone that you might think, he is just keeping the promise of service delivery that he made to Kenyans, i know you want him to lay back and lazy around like Kibaki so that you can wait for him again in 2012 and say “Raila Odinga has nothing to show for the service he rendered kenyans while he was prime minister” when you will be campaigning for another one from your closet.

For those who don’t know MUTAHI NGUNYI,
Mutahi Ngunyi Just Loves Controversy Nothing Else

He is a political scientist with ConsultAfrika, a research and consulting firm,he was the chief advisor of president Kibaki before the 2007 elections who pitched tent at statehouse with others so as to help their son of Mumbi secure the second term,despite this he was open in judging the post poll difficulties,some of his stands were good,

But....!

I doubt his credibility now.

Hi Duncan,

For what purposes do you find Mutahi Ngunyi not credible? As a political scientist or as a supporter of the Prime Minister?

Many professionals in the country are today actively playing advisory and strategist roles for different political players. Usually for a handsome fee. I guess it is their right and I doubt if it diminishes their professional abilities even if they take positions opposed to our own. It is really up to the target consumers of their ’propaganda’ to accept it or not.

It is not even necessary that their opinion be popular. In my view, the controversy that Mutahi provokes is in fact good, if only to prevent the stunting of our thought processes and stir us from complacency. His engagements are many times just plain philosophy that helps diversify viewpoints.

And anyway, the Prime Minister too has his retinue of professors to give his political moves some intellectual garb.

Hi Duncan!
A can almost imagine how angered you were when you wrote this article. But as Harun said we need someone to stir us from complacency, all of us can appreciate what our Prime Minister is doing and with no doubt we reckon the fervor he has potrayed in executing his duties and so do Mutahi Ngungi i presume, but do not forget what our politicians are. Mutahi is only trying to deliver a message to Kenyans however controversial it might be. Regardless of our political views we have to be open minded.

Hi Johnstone
If u read Ngunyi’s opinion on Sunday Nation, would you say that now he has become Pro-Uhuru/Moi? I like his controversy though.
2 Stars
I think Johnstone has a point,Mutahi is currently talking about everyone but the center point will always zero in on one thing,;is allegiance to kibaki.Even when he talks of kibaki he always wants to sound he is a man without bias.

you have just seconded me Duncan,Thanx Bro.

Sure, but isn’t bias what gives one a ’point of view’? Being pro-Kibaki (or pro-Raila)cannot be a measure credibility, scholarly or otherwise.

One should be able to counter his views, biased as they may be, without seeking to rubbish the man. Like him or not, let us admit that he is quite an informed, eloquent and persuasive protagonist.

Take any of his pieces and counter it point by point. If you can. That would be a spectacular and more worthy way to bring him down.

But Harun you are forgetting one thing,if you are just a common man like we are me you and Duncan,we won’t achieve much in our criticism as Mutahi would simply because he has the head start,take for example he has a space in the daily newspaper,he has money and most of it came from connections to statehouse,he knows powerful people in the govt,how can me and you fight such a man?even if he is misleading Kenyans?
Am sure if you,me and Duncan were given a column in one of the National newspapers we would have tried to prove our points but now,no,we are just like a hen that curses the crow.

I disagree Johnstone. I do not think that Mutahi’s work is published because he has money and connections. On the contrary, he got the money and connections after displaying his prowess.

Rebuttals from ordinary citizens have been published before and I think the only hurdle is quality of content. Of course editors have final discretion but generally, a good piece would not be rejected on account of ’connections’.

Have you tried submitting or is yours just fear of rejection? What about the online editions? How about taking on Mutahi right here on Instablogs? The readership is even wider! You and I need not wait for the Nation to ’give’ us a column. We might as well wait for grass to cover the Kalahari.
2 Stars
And you never know,Grass might indeed cover the kalahari,Harun has a point Johnstone,instablogs is still a good place for this checks,that is why i choose to present my case against Mutahi here because as much as i have tried with letters for the local papers,nothing has ever been forthcoming,but again Harun i defer with you,For instance when the issue of finances comes in, Mutahi has an advantage over us that is why we shall use instablogs and it might not reach the a larger of the Kenyan population for comment,but he has that,he has the Kenyan audience to a greater extend than we do here.

i wish to be told why Mutahi Ngunyi for instance won’t be pro-Kibaki if he pitched tent in statehouse as we have learnt.

Many people pitched tents all over,and yes Mutahi is one of them;HE WAS LUCKY TO HAVE PITCHED TENT ON THE SIDE WITH HONEY.

Today i read an article Where mutahi said that PNU and ODM won’t be there in 2012,to me his reasons are not convincing,why is he afraid of just saying that PNU is the subject of his article because we all know that ODM can go to the 2012 elections unlike PNU that has already started disintergrating?
Harun don’t you think am right?Mutahi always wants to hide behind the back of ODM when he wants to comment on matters affecting his people.
2 Stars
you have a point there,it seems that he fears being seen as the one hitting at his people the Githongo way as much as he knows he should,so he decides to hide in the skeleton of attacking both sides so that he can get sympathizers at the end of the day instead of enemies.
