Money Over Integrity and Reputation, NYS Grand Heist Deflated Mutahi Ngunyi

By Nicholas Olambo
2016 has not been a good year for the arrogant and controversial political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi. Mutahi has been known for his rapper attitude and ‘dissing’ analyses on Cord leader Raila Odinga. He once described him as ‘a busy house girl’ in the grand coalition government. He was alleging that Mr. Odinga wanted to be seen doing everything including nothing. He always appeared to have a bone to pick with Rail. Ngunyi is the brain behind generation of ‘tyranny of numbers’ hypothesis.

His blunt utterances always caused uproar like suggesting that Raila should be jailed over Uganda sugar deal and calling Luo community poverty stricken. ‘Raila should be put on trial. The Judge: Poverty stricken Luos…. The Charge: selfishness. Selfishness, selfishness, selfishness…’ he wrote on a tweet. His political analysis career is ‘Raila based’ giving him all sorts demeaning descriptions like equating him to a slow punctured car. He is now cornered in the infamous NYS saga where shs 791 million was misappropriated. Ngunyi’s firm did business with NYS and was overpaid.

He is finding no defense in Raila, instead he claims he is shocked why he was overpaid shs 11.87 million. He told the National Assembly Public Accounts Committee (PAC) that he did not know how NYS Picked his firm to do it’s restructuring and if it was single sourced. Guilty Mutahi claims that he only learnt from the auditor general that he was overpaid in March 2015 but he assumed it was from a different client since he had been paid his dues prior to that.

The Mutahi defending himself now is so different from the one with the foul mouth, he looks rained on and begging for mercy with weak threats to sue ministry officials who made the mysterious payments. He swore on his mom’s bible that he is clean. Is he clean? This is the same guy who authoritatively said in an interview with the Nairobian that he makes money in CCP (corruption, consultancy and politics).

Mutahi was responding to a question on the source of his money to rent lavish offices at the MMID Studio House in Museum Hill and pay his staff of mostly young, gorgeous and sophisticated looking women. The arrogant analyst claimed that The consultancy house (his firm) does a lot of work from bodies like governments and IGAD through referrals across 18 countries. Corruption is indeed his source of income and has finally ended his arrogance and career; no one listens to Ngunyi anymore.
