'Over My Dead Body': US-Based Lawyer Makau Mutua Rejects DP Ruto’s Job Offer

US-based law scholar Prof. Makau Mutua has turned down an offer to work for Deputy President William Ruto.
Mutua in an article published on Daily Nation implied that he was being lured into joining Ruto’s 2022 presidential campaign team, declaring that he would “never ever” work with the DP.
“Several weeks ago, I was bamboozled when a top commander in Deputy President William Ruto’s campaign locomotive begged me to work with them to get the man from Sugoi to State House in 2022. I was dumbfounded – and totally beside myself. I slapped myself to make sure I wasn’t in la-la land, or in mental Siberia. I kept it together even though I am still reeling from the outlandish idea. In spite of the shock, I’ve kept my counsel – until now.”
"Today, I give the answer. Mr Ruto and his campaign should read my lips–or rather the words from the tip of my pen. The answer is nyet (Russian for No). I can’t – and won’t – work with Mr Ruto. Never. Ever. Case closed," he noted.
"This can only happen over my dead body."
He cited DP Ruto’s as anti-democratic legacy and links to corruption as some of the reasons why he rejected the offer.
“In fact, Mr Ruto has always been on the wrong side of history. He’s either championed, or been an important, anti-reform, anti-democratic voice. He’s never seen a human right he didn’t want to stifle. His street name is “Arap Mashamba”, an ode to his naming in reported land scandals.”
“Mr Ruto and his brigand can take this to the nearest bank – no bona fide civil society organisation, or any of their self-respecting members, will touch Mr Ruto with a 10-foot pole. None. Whenever I hear the mention of Mr Ruto, or sense his proximity, I head in the opposite direction. It’s been so since his emergence in Youth for Kanu ’92.”

They also threaten to kill your family and destroy your life. If you refuse to take the bribe or the job offer.

I agree. Even they'll offer you "Bank loans", "Free land", and "Beautiful" mistresses aka Delilahs on you. I mean they'll put Deadly women on you if you a Man. Nicholas Biwott used to do this kind of $hit in Moi's era.
Nb: And if you Fell for these Traps and FAILED to Toe the Line: They hire goon Auctioneers to Put all your Property on Sale (including your OWN property). Then you're shamed by being Publically declared "Bankraupt" without being Bankrupt for real.

Wewe... wacha.. MOI stole from kenya and left the country on it knees okay. So do not go there, check Sudi and that man speak the truth. Kale had presidency for 24 yrs and that when all BIG corporation died the death and only Kibaki showed-up and tried to resurrect them but it been a journey. Then we elected this other one who laugh off his heart off but was a BIG mistake.
So Mutai, Moi era was total nightmare but l know Kale praise him because that when all showed-up in the city and took all the jobs and some were not qualified but that was then and would say Kale are okay but very sneaky people hard to understand them.

This Antics no longer work. You cannot post as Dr Koni Hanene, and then reply to your own post, as Guest, just like Guest1 has posted as Guesty, and then replied to her own post. The simple reason is that Ideology is like a scent, which can be traced to a particular person. And just like a dog is never wrong when identifying a particular scent with an individual, so it is a way of thinking, or ideology, to a particular person.

That’s because Merus are being terrorized by the Kenyan government through Nyumba Kumi Initiative. If they don’t support the government the get beaten up by nyumba kumi goons.
If Merus oppose the government they will be killed by Nyumba kumi terrorists who get orders from “above”.
William Ruto is just taking advantage of the situation and pretending his support is because he is an ICC criminal, like Muthaura another crook.
Nyumba Kumi is a radicalization initiative. A disaster.

You even have audacity to question my academic credentials? Have I not collided with you before over the same issue? Let me tell you, my position on faggots will never be moved. Homosexuality is abomination of evil and Makau feels strongly defending faggots like you and that is why I have a conflict with him. I am a person of high virtues, great integrity, courage, fortitude, honesty and loyalty unlike Makau who organizes vice to corrupt virtues in our country

Keep your small dick to yourself and go ask your mother to glorify your foolishness! Only animals are willing to listen to a thief! Leave Dr. Makau a lone!

This is a gay man who has made a lifestyle choice of being poked in his ass and for you to attack Dr Makau is like attacking his prophet. Dr Makau is beloved son by many homosexuals because he is one of them and uses his legal knowledge to defend them.
