Lawyer and political analyst Fanya Mambo Kinuthia has told President William Ruto to resign if he considers the Constitution an obstacle to governing Kenya.
Kinuthia accused Ruto of failing to match his promises with action, saying the President had promised to steer Kenya towards Singapore-style development but was instead taking the country towards Haiti and Kosovo, where he said the rule of law had broken down.
“What we are telling William Ruto is simple, please, if you feel that this constitution is constraining you, resign as president, 50 million of us are okay with the constitution,” Kinuthia said on Thursday during an interview on Spice FM.
Kinuthia linked his criticism to the government's handling of the 2024 Gen Z protests against tax proposals contained in that year's Finance Bill, saying some protesters were killed while others remain missing.
“They want us to forget 2024, we have refused to forget, beyond those who were killed there are some who are missing and nobody wants to give an answer about it,” he said.
He argued that Ruto's Vision 2060 agenda was unrealistic while many Kenyans struggled to meet basic needs, dismissing an event at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) linked to the plan as a waste of public money and time.
