Popular Kenyan Political Analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has cautioned that Raila Odinga’s rallies might mutate into Arab Spring Revolution.
Mutahi has warned that the series of ‘consultative meetings‘ that commenced on Wednesday might grow into a force that will overwhelm william Ruto’s goverment.
Arab Spring was a series of Anti-government rebellion and protests that spread across the Arab Countries leading to ouster of various leaders.
According to Mutahi Ngunyi, this is the kind of situation Raila Odinga’s rallies may lead to.
“The problem with Kamukunji rallies is that they start in small installments. Bit by bit, they grow into something big with life of their own,” Mutahi Ngunyi said.
The Azimio team led by Raila began their 30-days rallies dubbed ‘consultative meetings‘ on Wednesday, where they vowed to keep William Ruto’s government on check.
