David Ndii Responds to Former Chief Justice Mutunga’s Remarks on Ruto-Raila Handshake Economist and political analyst David Ndii has responded to former Chief Justice Willy Mutunga’s comments on the handshake between President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. In an interview with NTV, Mutunga had criticized the handshake, stating that it had not addressed the underlying issues that led to the 2017 post-election violence. He argued that the agreement was merely a pact between two individuals rather than a comprehensive solution to the country’s political and economic challenges. In response, Ndii took to Twitter to express his disagreement with Mutunga’s assessment. He claimed that the handshake had indeed achieved significant progress, citing the reduction in political tension and the establishment of a consensus around the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). Ndii argued that the handshake was “not a pact but a reset” that had paved the way for a more inclusive and stable political environment. He further suggested that the BBI had the potential to address the fundamental issues that Mutunga had raised, including inequality and historical injustices. Ndii’s comments sparked a debate on social media, with some supporting his view and others agreeing with Mutunga. The ongoing discussion highlights the diverse perspectives on the long-term ramifications of the handshake and the ongoing search for solutions to Kenya’s political and social problems. However, it is important to note that the full extent of the handshake’s impact remains to be seen, and its ultimate success will depend on the implementation and follow-through on the commitments made during the agreement.Ondangwa United Extends Lead in Oshikoto Regional LeagueOndangwa United Extends Lead in Oshikoto Regional League Ondangwa United secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Mama Love on Saturday, extending their lead atop the Oshikoto Regional League standings to seven points.

Ndii said Mutunga’s criticism of the handshake was “misplaced” and that the former CJ was “wrong” to suggest that the handshake was about “power-sharing.” Ndii argued that the handshake was about “healing the country” and “bringing Kenyans together.” He said that the handshake had been a success and that it had “helped to reduce political tensions and violence in the country.” Ndii also said that Mutunga’s comments were “unfair” to President Kenyatta and Raila Odinga. He said that Kenyatta and Odinga had shown “great courage and leadership” in agreeing to the handshake. Ndii’s comments came after Mutunga said that the handshake was “a betrayal of the public” and that it was about “power-sharing” and not about “healing the country.” Mutunga had also said that the handshake had “weakened” the National Assembly and that it had “eroded the independence of the judiciary.” Ndii’s response to Mutunga’s comments is likely to add to the ongoing debate about the handshake. It is a debate that is likely to continue for some time to come.
