Mutahi Ngunyi:-why His Sunday Nation Column Was Deactivated!

I watched and listened yesterday as Mutahi Ngunyi narrated why he is no longer penning his column in the Sunday nation. He tells us that he had done an article on the transition clause in the draft constitution and this did not go down well with the powers that be. Whatever happened thereafter is another story- he says.According to him:

1)The president looses his powers to dissolve parliament once the constitution is passed
2)Parliament to run for a full 5 year term from the time it was sworn in which is sometimes in January 2013 .
3)Elections are to be held within 60 days from the end of the life of parliament which is sometimes in March 2013. Therefore no parliamentary elections in 2012 as we have been meant to believe.
4)The president equally ceases to be in office exactly 5 years from the date he was sworn in and that is some time in end December 2012.
5)During the period between the time the presidents term expires in December 2012 and March 2013 when elections are held, there will be no constitutionally recognized president.
6)Because the office of the vice president depends on that of the president, He is not in a position to assume power during this period as that will be illegal.
7)The current government being a 50:50 power sharing deal between the president and the pm leaves the pm in power over this period of vacuum.

I repeat again that these were the facts as presented by Mutahi ngunyi during the K24 interview. He draws the arguments from the 5th schedule of the draft constitution which he claimed were written by a tired COE.

Can we have these allegations criticized?

I lyk the chap bt i gues Raila has played his cards well.

Why I lk tha chap s coz he criticizes intellectually. For the red camp lets just say it as it is that this proposed katiba is not ours. So the qn begs, who does it belong to? My guess is as gud as uas.

Well, even if it were, those few technicalities shud not hold a country backwards for fear of unknown, and in any case they r arguable, anyone else can translate that clause. N who do u want to see draft a katiba for u to say its ours. Remember the DEVIL (Red) capitalises on your insecurities not to move forward

this is indeed the real story,all along they have been making us believe its the abortion and kadhi court issue those were just smokescreens for their "other" campaigns,ruto knows this and being raila's sworn rival he is doing all he can to shoot it down,and could the president be living up to his chameleon fame?
in the end all MP's care is how much power they can wield.

mutahi's column was stopped becoz it deviated from objectivity (ask those of us who had been reading it from inception) into a goon for hire! what a waste! the fellow started using his once very well researched and respected opinion column into a political tool.
bure kabisa!

I think in my opinion as a Kenyan citizen is for now i won't give a giraffes ass whoever is in Parliament or is President cause this guys will continue to screw us over and over till the day we will Strike and show them who is boss.

wat Mutahi didn't tell us is the fact that he's hired by the Red (NO) camp as a consultant so he has to spread the butter on the right side (who pays him) of the bread.
Mutahi started writing articles against the coalition government because he had not been given the plum position as promised by Kibaki during the 2007 elections.
NA ASEME UKWELI. It's really sad that even Kenyans who have brains and who we think will lead us one day can be bribed. what a chameleon, there's no difference between the stupid ETHICS of bribery that distinguishes Mutahi and those other poor Kenyans who sell their vote for 50 shillings.

Who changed it to deactivated now?

Mutahi Ngunyi is on point almost all the time. He calls a spade a spade whether Kibaki, Raila, Moi, Ruto, Saitoti n the likes. That will obviously make u unpopular to them n their followers. The truth hurts n he exposes the unbelly if most politicians which inturn has made him hero to the ordinary fork. Since he left people stopped buying Sunday Nation. He is one of the few columnist who gives insight n makes me think outside the box. I hope he join Nairobi Star.

n u wonder why Clay Muganda is always castigating political analysts?These so called 'political analysts' are used by politicians to finish off their rivals.Ngunyi has made a number of astute observations and postulations that have come to pass. But his recent tirades have exposed him as a puppet of a section of the political class.Woe unto you Mutahi. I used to respect your u but u sold us out.Good riddance

His best days were definately behind. The guy had degenerated, writing incoherent theories which made no sense at all! His departure was long overdue. He can join standard for all l care. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

there are transitional clauses in the draft constitution schedules,no such vaccum exists.Mutahi is a clown who over excites himself with half baked theories.

There are still other insightful columns e,g Mutua's...so no regrets

›› gaaki 29-Jul-2010, reply_352059
Point of correction its the 6th schedule of the draft and yes its possible Raila may take over in a civilian coup style and thats why he is more yes than Kibaki. And i think Kibaki us looks at the citizens and wonders these fools have been fooled again.
@ Brary kindly read the Draft const's schedule 6
