"#Maandamanowednesday is about a reckless opposition fighting an incompetent government. Today, the Government was weak," he said.


Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has opined that the government was weak on Wednesday while taming protests across the country. 

Ngunyi in a tweet described the protests as a fight of sorts between a "reckless" opposition and an "incompetent" government.

"#Maandamanowednesday is about a reckless opposition fighting an incompetent government. Today, the Government was weak," he said.

The protests saw over 9 people shot dead across the country and properties of unknown value destroyed.

More than 20 counties participated in the demos with many residents taking to the street to demonstrate.

ODM Leader Raila Odinga who called the protests did not show up at Kamukunji for a rally he had called but addressed the nation later on explaining that there was a planned assassination attempt in the event he showed him.

Raila has warned that the demos won't stop until President Ruto heeds the demands raised by the opposition.

But even as he pushes on in protests against the Ruto regime, Ngunyi believes President Ruto could be having a secret game plan in the works.

"But remember this: Raila is like a rocking chair. He keeps you busy and takes you nowhere. And by Christmas, we will know. But Ruto is not stupid. Or is He?" he posed.

He went on to ask Kenyans to Give Ruto a chance to deliver saying if he fails, then he should be judged harshly.

He explained that having worked for former President Uhuru Kenyatta, his work was a difficult one and to him, Ruto needs time to deliver on his mandate.

"I will play the lone voice from the Wilderness. Give Ruto a chance. I worked for Uhuru Kenyatta and his job was Hard. If Ruto fails, let the People deal with him Ever so Harshly - in 2027. But give the damn guy a Chance!"
