A section of netizens have laughed off claims by renowned economist David Ndii that the ongoing protests against President William Ruto have been organised by dynasties.
He alleged retired President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Handshake partner Raila Odinga are planning demos so can fail on delivering his election promises.
Ndii said dynasties were still bitter that even after portraying Ruto in a bad picture he went ahead to defeat them and there were indications he will outperform them.
The chairman of Presidential council of economic advisors vowed they will help the Kenya Kwanza leader deliver on his manifesto at all costs.
“Existential fear of dynasties is this man they derisively dismissed as chicken seller from back of beyond outperforming them. This contest is about whether power will be preserve of a dynastic oligarchy or open to all. If for nothing else we will make him succeed or die trying,” Ndii tweeted on Sunday.
His remarks, however, did not go well with a section of Kenyans who accused him of trying to create a fake narrative that Ruto was being fought by dynasties to divert attention from his failures.
“Nobody dismissed William as a chicken seller. This was a narrative carefully crafted to divide the country in a bilateral grouping: hustlers vs dynasties. At it’s base it’s a false dichotomy. But politicians love these because it creates an us vs them scenario and can be used to raise emotions, limit logical reasoning and generally draw people’s attention from the germane issues!” said Hon Becton.
“We are past that, it’s 8months, the government now belongs to the chicken seller, why is the hustler still suffering? why are the prices higher than the dynasties time? Why did he lie to the poor?” posed Bahari Motors.
