Former Chief Justice Dr. Willy Mutunga has finally spoken out after staying quiet for some time. His words come as a reaction to what former Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi recently shared. Muturi had made some surprising claims, saying that President William Ruto was connected to questionable deals with a company called Adani.
This news stirred up a lot of talk, and now Mutunga has decided to weigh in on the matter. Mutunga didn’t hold back when he responded to a statement from the Kenya Human Rights Commission. The group had pointed out how the president’s actions were now out in the open for everyone to see.
Mutunga agreed with them and went further, saying that politicians in the country are too busy pointing fingers at each other. He believes they should stop with the lies and focus on the real problems that everyday Kenyans are facing.
According to him, the leaders are more interested in their own games than in helping the people who need it most.In a report, Mutunga is quoted as saying, “These people lie. You have no dog in this ethnic strife. The collective elite is to blame for the status quo the country finds itself in.” His words suggest that he thinks the country’s troubles aren’t just the fault of one person or group. Instead, he points to the leaders as a whole, saying they’ve all played a part in keeping things the way they are.
For him, the constant fighting between tribes and politicians is just a distraction from the bigger issues.This all started when Justin Muturi dropped a bombshell about his time working with President Ruto.
He claimed that the president had called him while he was in Dubai, asking him to sign off on a deal with Adani. Muturi said he refused to go along with it, hinting that something about the deal didn’t sit right with him. That revelation has sparked a lot of debate, with people wondering what exactly was going on behind closed doors.
Mutunga’s decision to speak now is a big deal because he’s someone many Kenyans respect.
As a former Chief Justice, he’s seen how the system works up close, and his voice carries weight. When he says that politicians are lying and dodging the real issues, it’s not something people can easily ignore. He’s calling out the leaders for failing to put the needs of ordinary citizens first, and that’s a message that hits home for a lot of people who feel let down by those in power.
The Adani deal that Muturi mentioned has only added fuel to the fire. Questions are swirling about what the deal was really about and why Ruto was so keen to push it through. Muturi’s refusal to sign it suggests there might have been something shady going on, and now that Mutunga has backed up the criticism, it’s harder for the president and his team to brush it off.
Kenyans are left wondering who they can trust when even the top leaders seem caught up in blame games and secret deals.For many, Mutunga’s words are a reminder of how deep the problems run. He’s not just talking about one bad deal or one dishonest politician. He’s pointing to a whole system where the people at the top keep letting down those at the bottom.
Whether it’s ethnic tensions or shady business moves, he sees it all as part of the same mess one that won’t get fixed until the leaders stop lying and start working for the country instead of themselves.
