Ngunyi influence on re-introduction of fuel subsidies: As we navigate the deep and tumultuous waters of Kenyan politics, a very unexpected development that is still difficult to believe has suddenly slapped us in the face. Over the past few months, we've seen President William Ruto vehemently rule out the remotest possibility of Uhuru Kenyatta's subsidies ever coming back. And then Wham!!! the fuel subsidy is back.
And some pundits believe that this latest manoeuvre is strikingly evocative of the counsel of Prof Mutahi "Rasputin" Ngunyi. But has the academic's advice truly begun to manifest in Ruto's political trajectory? And so immediately at that?
The relationship between Ruto and Ngunyi, renowned for his political analyses and predictions, is no secret. The good professor has been working at getting to Ruto's jugular. In fact, it's been fodder for political pundits and enthusiasts alike. But suddenly he announces that he has crossed over. And then he tells us what he would advise the President to do... and then we see Ruto do it.
Before we examine the specifics, it's important that we understand who Prof Mutahi "Rasputin" Ngunyi is and what his theories entail. Known for his provocative and often controversial views, Ngunyi is a force to reckon with in the political arena. His theories, often dubbed as 'Rasputin-esque', are a blend of political science, psychology, and philosophy, designed to provoke thought and inspire action.
So why should Kenyans be very, very afraid?
