Mutahi Ngunyi: Raila must concede defeat or be shown no mercy

“I am fully aware that to give unsolicited advice is rude, but i’ll give it to him all the same. Number one, he has no option but to concede defeat,and If he concedes defeat, he will regroup and will save face locally and internationally. Similarly, if he regroups, he will maintain status quo and he will be just fine,” Ngunyi says.

“But the option he seems to have taken is to go underground,and this option is one in which we are not sure whether the man has vanished or whether he’s still in Kenya.The problem with this is that it will fuel some kind of speculation around the country whether he’s here or not or what he’s most likely to do..”,Mutahi added.

“One of my biggest worries here is his fascination with the military. In the past he has accused Uhuru Kenyatta of planning to install himself using the military. And the question we need to throw back to Raila is simple; Is he gone underground in search of a military solution to his defeat? And is the violence across the country part of this particular plan and solution?’

“If Raila does not concede in my view, then the country must show him no mercy because Raila will show the country no mercy either. And there must be that reciprocal relationship”,Mutahu concluded.
