    He said Uhuru is not his president.

    Ūūūūūi this was supposed to be Miguna Migunas job but the guy can't keep his pie hole closed.

  3. KanyiMar 3, 2022

    Miguna is busy running for a governor in abstentia. He thinks whatsup will work out well as a medium of his campaigning. He should learn to chose his battles well.

  4. Wait a minMar 1, 2022

    A spokesperson? And he accepted to do just that?......

  5. MlandiziMar 2, 2022

    We are witnessing the transformation of Pro. Makau Mutua from an activist to a politician. He just might one day dethrone Kalonzo and become the Ukambani kingpin.

  6. WillyMar 3, 2022

    It’s very possible with the back and forth confusion Kenyans have witnessed in the past few days. Kalonzo must be suffering from some sort of brain disorder. Everything is all about Kalonzo. His goal is to enrich himself but I think it’s too late for him.

    Raila, Mutua's reputation is tainted. He does not command a lot of respect in the Diaspora. You could have done better.

    Liberal feminist good to slow down ageing Raila

    Raila, Mutua's reputation is tainted. He does not command a lot of respect in the Diaspora. You could have done better. Dr. Koni Hanene is better situated for the job. He is much smarter than this crack head Mutua. You know what, Raila will also appoint him Kenya's next attorney General. I place a bet on this

  10. KiptanuiMar 3, 2022

    Koni Hanene is a mad man. He drinks coolaid mixed with a dose of micron Covid plus some other crap. Hanene lied to Kenyans that he had discovered covid19 drugs but when he was challenged to show the facts he ran away to Mali to fight with the Juntas.

    Learned fool will insult many with this opportunity

  12. CharlieMar 4, 2022

    Don’t you deserve a couple of insults to wise up @rotten? Your damn name simply betrays your rotten state of mind.

  13. PowertothepeopleMar 2, 2022

    Good riddance. Dumb and Dumber. Two fools, who will lead whom??????

  14. CheptooMar 3, 2022

    Makau Mutua is the most hated person in Kenya

  15. JoabMar 4, 2022

    Wrong! DP Ruto is the most hated for stealing Kenya’s coffers and for being a colossal conman. Ruto’s sheet of criminality is bigger that that of Mob gangster Ghatti and that of Gabino’s family crimes put together
