Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has caused a stir online after he directed his sentiments to President William Ruto saying that in order to transform Kenya, he has to break the law.
According to Ngunyi, the President should go with an iron fist rule and defy procedures in order to bring change in the country, saying that without breaking the law, kenya will remain stagnated.
Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi sentiments come amid political turmoil that has been witnessed in the recent past with the political class clashing with the judicial systems calling out the corrupt judiciary due to rullings against the government.

Ngunyi referenced his remarks to the mass protests in defiance of former President Daniel Moi’s regime in 1990. He insisted that should the protests not have happened, Kenya would still be under dictatorship like her neighbours.
“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.”
This comes after President William Ruto declared that his administration would defy judgements made by corrupt courts.

” I want to announce here that a few people with vested interests who are beneficiaries of corruption in NHIF are now ganging up with corrupt judicial officers to stall reforms so that fake hospital claims will continue, I want to assure you that this will not happen in Kenya again and we will stop it.”
His sentiments have caused an uproar not only among kenyans but also the judiciary, Law Society of Kenya and with the opposition calling him out. This prompted even the LSK to plan for demonstrations next week to fight for Judicial independence.
