Mixed Reactions As Mutahi Ngunyi's House Burns Down A Day To Kiambaa By-election
The burnt down of Kenya's renowned political analyst's house amid Kiambaa By-election politics sparked mixed reactions on Wednesday, 14th July.
According to some Kenyans on Twitter (KOT), the Analyst's house was burnt down by Deputy President William Ruto who was informed of the incident just 16 minutes later. The analyst on his page also added that the incident comes after he talked about the KIAMBAA violence of 2008 on the 5th Estate.
My FREN @OleItumbi MY house in Runda for 27 years WENT on FIRE at 1.45 am. You TOLD the Hustlers at 2.01 am. About 16 minutes LATER. That is after I talked about KIAMBAA violence of 2008 on 5th Estate. Here is a BETTER picture than the one you POSTED. Enjoy. pic.twitter.com/w95WiY34H0

Other Kenyans on the other hand are blaming Mutahi Ngunyi for burning down his own house and accuse the Deputy President with the intention of obtaining Sympathy votes from Kiambaa.
They added that the house is located in such a secure place, Runda, that could not be accessed by the 'sent People"
You will NOT get any SYMPATHY VOTES coz. TOMORROW we the PEOPLE of KIAMBAA constituency will unleash a political TSUNAMI on UHURU when we make DR RUTO the FRONTRUNNER in the 2022 PRESIDENTIAL race.

Kiambaa
It doesn't take a genius to know that Mutahi Ngunyi set his house on fire for political expediency. Talk about Kiambaa 2007-08 then burn his house and blame it on Tangatanga. Desperate COW!!!
