Makau Mutua roasted on Twitter for reiterating he doesn’t recognise Uhuru as president
Lawyer Makau Mutua has elicited rebuttals on Twitter for reiterating that he still does not recognize President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election.
In a tweet, Mutua cited his 2013 declaration that he did not recognize the president then added that even now he does not recognize President Kenyatta.
His 2013 declaration came back to haunt him during his interview for the Chief Justice position.
Makau was tasked by attorney general Githu Muigai to explain the tweet but he answered that is appointed Chief Justice, he would have no problem working with President Kenyatta.
His latest tweet that is similar to his stance back in 2013 elicited various reactions online with many users rubbishing him.
In 2013, I REFUSED to recognize Uhuru Kenyatta as PORK. The 2017 SHAMBOLIC elections confirmed the ILLEGITIMACY. I can’t — and won’t — RECOGNIZE Uhuru Kenyatta as PORK.
