Renowned political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has sparked fresh debate after alleging that former President Uhuru Kenyatta could be the mole quietly working to break Kenya’s opposition from within.
In a pointed analysis, Ngunyi argues that recent political moves linked to Uhuru raise serious questions about his true intentions in opposition politics.
According to Ngunyi, Uhuru is accused of engineering internal realignments that weaken opposition unity, including backing moves that elevate Kalonzo Musyoka into strategic leadership positions within the Azimio setup, while controversial changes in party leadership allegedly destabilize ODM.
He further claims that the revival of Jubilee with Fred Matiang'i as a potential presidential candidate only deepens divisions among opposition forces.
Ngunyi questioned whether these calculated steps amount to deliberate sabotage, arguing that a divided opposition ultimately benefits President William Ruto.
He points to Uhuru’s recent public interactions with Ruto, including their meeting in Addis Ababa, as symbolic moments that fuel suspicion and reinforce perceptions of political double dealing.
While Uhuru’s allies insist he is acting as a statesman promoting stability, critics see a pattern that undermines opposition cohesion ahead of future elections.
Ngunyi’s questions lingers in the public arena, are these moves coincidental acts of reconciliation, or evidence of a calculated strategy to break the opposition from within?
