During the segment dubbed 'Damaging Ignorance' Mutahi Ngunyi claimed that by celebrating the court ruling on BBI, DP Ruto indicated that he supports post-election violence.

Political Analyst Prof Mutahi Ngunyi has come under sharp criticism following remarks he made during a panel discussion on K24 TV on Sunday Night.

In a show dubbed ‘Damaging Ignorance’, Mutahi and presenters from the Fort Hall School of Government took issue with Deputy President William Ruto and his allies celebrating the High Court ruling the declared BBI unconstitutional.

According to Ngunyi, if BBI is not passed before the next election, Kenya will continue losing thousands of its citizens to post-election violence.

He also argued that BBI seeks to provide inclusivity, adding that anyone opposing the Bill is more interested in having a Kikuyu-Kalenjin dominance.

“Ruto celebrated when BBI fell. What does this mean? He supports killing 1000 Kenyans every election, like we have done it since 1992. He supports Kikuyu-Kalenjin dominance because his running mate will be a Kikuyu. Everyone else is political nuclear waste,” he tweeted after the show.

His remarks have caused an outrage with netizens calling on government agencies to act against the Prof and his team over what they termed as inciting remarks.

Here are some of the reactions:
