Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has praised the government minutes after media houses’ signals were reportedly switched off by Communications Authority.
In a post on his official Twitter account, the controversial political analyst told the President to deal with the Kenyan media once and for all.
Mutahi tweeted this remarks after Royal Media Services-owned Citizen TV, Standard Group's KTN News and Nation Media Group’s NTV were stopped from live airing of National Super Alliance (NASA) Coalition’s swearing-in ceremony.
“Today is the day of the coup. Uhuru should show Raila no mercy because Raila will show him none. He should also fix the crooked media once and for all,” the tweet read.

Ngunyi also stated on his YouTube Channel that the President should withdraw the security of Raila Odinga and his deputy Kalonzo Musyoka for proceeding with the swearing-in ceremony.
“If Raila is planning to do a coup on January 30, all security should be withdrawn from him and his colleagues, their firearms should also be confiscated,” Ngunyi stated.
The political analyst also called for the government to take away the Opposition leader’s passports and paralyse and put them under house arrest.
“Their passports should be taken away the way Moi used to do and they should be paralyzed in such a way they can not operate,” Ngunyi remarked.
“They should also be put on house arrest. If Uhuru is not as drastic as that Raila will force a caretaker government,” he added.

The NASA leader took the oath as the people's President after arriving at Uhuru Park around 3 pm. However, the other principal, Musyoka, Moses Wetangula and Musalia Mudavadi skipped the event.
