Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi wants President William Ruto to break the law if he intends to make Kenya a better nation in the future.
In a statement on Thursday on his X (Twitter) account, Ngunyi said we are a multi-party state today because we disobeyed court orders during the Saba Saba Movement in 1990.
“If we did not disobey court orders in the Saba Saba of 1990, Kenya would still be a one-party dictatorship like Rwanda and Uganda. Damn the law,” Ngunyi said.
He said that the judiciary is corrupt to the core and from the core. Additionally, he referred to 2003, when Kiraitu Murungi, the then Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, fired 30 judges in 2003 for corruption.

“As the executive, you must drain this swamp. Do it for the people, despite the people. One man with God is in the majority. Drain the swamp,” Mutahi added.
Mutahi’s remarks come a day after the Head of State vowed to disobey court orders coming from corrupt individuals in the judiciary. The President has since received backlash from lawyers, who have called for peaceful demonstrations next week. The judges have also responded through the Kenya Magistrates and Judges Association (KMJA), which termed the remarks an abuse of the Constitution of the people of Kenya.
“Where the decisions of the courts are not respected, the rule of law is betrayed, and anarchy prevails,” the association said. “Judges and judicial officers cannot work freely with such threats, especially when made by no one other than the President himself,” KMJA said.
