US-Based Lawyer Makau Mutua Brands DP Ruto a Copycat, Says Mike Sonko is the ‘Original Hustler’

US-based Kenyan scholar Prof. Makau Mutua has poked holes in Deputy President William Ruto’s ‘hustler’ tag.

Mutua through Twitter said Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is the original “hustler-in-chief” and not DP Ruto, who he described as a copycat.

“No — let’s not forget Governor @MikeSonko is the ORIGINAL “hustler-in-chief.” We know where that’s taken Nairobi,” wrote Prof. Mutua.

“DP @WilliamsRuto is only a facsimile — a copycat. Demagogues and charlatans can’t rescue Kenya. Don’t think outside the box. Instead, think against the box,” he added.

Prof. Mutua is one of the fierce critics of DP Ruto and has in the past vowed never to work with him. He claimed he was offered a chance to be part of Ruto’s strategy team for his 2022 presidential bid but he turned down the offer.

“Today, I give the answer. Mr. Ruto and his campaign team should read my lips or rather the words from the tip of my pen. The answer is nyet. I can’t and won’t work with Mr. Ruto. Never. Ever. Case closed,” Mutua said in the past.

Ruto has labeled himself a hustler in an attempt to endear himself to voters ahead of the 2022 presidential election. He maintains the 2022 succession battle will be between ‘hustlers’ and ‘dynasties.’

How come Makau has now recorgnised jambazi Ruto as VP?Or did he change his stand on Ruto and Uhuru after Raila joined them in looting taxpayers funds?Sonko,his druglord tribesman has never been a hustler.

WAFULA CHEBUKATI

Nakuomba ufuate Sura ya Sita ya Katiba mpya ya Kenya kwa kuamua watakaoweza kuruhusiwa kuhusika kwenye uchaguzi wa viongozi wapya wa Kenya 2022.

I request that you follow the demands of the New Constitution of Kenya as stipulated in the Sixth Chapter as to who can be allowed to participate as a candidate come 2022.

Makamu wa rais alipatikana na hatia ya kuiba shamba la Ndugu Muteshi. Kwa hiyo, hafai hata kidogo kuwa mmojawapo wa watu wanaoweza kushiriki kwenye uchaguzi ujao.

The current vice president was found guilty of stealing the land belonging to Brother Muteshi. Therefore, he is not fit to run for any public office during the forth coming general election.

No one else can describe Ruto better the prof Makau. I hope Kenyans are listening to the learned professor. He is telling you the truth about Ruto and nothing less than the truth! Ignore what Makau is saying at your own peril

Prof Makau is addressing a mad man who is hell bent on destroying other people’s lives to be the next president! Makau is very correct that Ruto does not deserve the seat of power in Kenya!
