Kenyans are Arrogant and Ignorant Lot, Ezekiel Mutua Exclaims

Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) CEO Ezekiel Mutua has once again told off Kenyans over their negative attitude towards government officials.

Mutua, in a Facebook post on Saturday, April 25th, said it is an uphill task to deal with Kenyans, describing them as “arrogant, ignorant and impatient.”

“I feel for CS Mutahi Kagwe and my prayers are with him and his team at the Ministry of Health. It's not easy dealing with Kenyans,” wrote Mutua.

He lamented how Kenyans praise a leader and even nominate them as presidential candidates and, in no time, brand the person as a villain.  

“Today they celebrate you and even unanimously nominate you to a presidential candidate. Then suddenly they are opposed to everything you are doing and have all manner of suggestions on how you are failing and how it can be done better.”

He added: “Besides being arrogant, Kenyans are also an ignorant and impatient lot. And this is what makes public service in Kenya a thankless job. That's why I submit our good CS and his team to God to give them the wisdom, fortitude and grace to serve without expecting credit.”

Mutua, nicknamed ‘Kenyan moral policeman’, applauded leaders who have taken an active role in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.

“I pray for everyone at the frontline in this battle including our political leaders like Ali Hassan Joho, my own Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua, the indefatigable Nairobi Senator Johnson Sakaja and every leader trying to make a difference in the war against Coronavirus to soldier on and never look back,” he quipped.

Last week, Mutua found himself at loggerheads with Kenyans on social media after he reprimanded them for hating on their leaders.

“No country has ever progressed by hating its leaders. If you don’t like them, change them. But once you elect someone into office, for heaven’s sake, support them, pray for them and do your part as a citizen to contribute to the development of your country,” Mutua wrote on Twitter.
