Mutahi Ngunyi stirs reactions with ‘Sonko is not a girl’ advice to Igathe
Popular political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi weighed in on the resignation of Nairobi County Deputy Governor Polycarp Igathe and his comment has, in itself, left social media pulsating.
Hon Igathe had shocked the nation on Friday with an announcement that he was resigning as the deputy of Hon Mike Sonko.
Taking to Twitter, Hon Igathe cited lack of trust between him and the Governor as a reason why he made that decision.
With signs of lack of cohesion among the two making headlines over the recent past, they went to lengths to portray a united front and give an illusion that all was well as City Hall. Seemingly did not curb much.
Ngunyi shared a post where he was giving remarks on what Hon Igathe would not have done. Basing on Igathe’s citation of trust as an issue between him and Hon Sonko, Ngunyi belittled his quote and said that ‘trust’ is not for politicians but girls.
His post caused a storm on Twitter where netizens wanted to know what he meant while a section of netizens based on the issue of resignation and not his statement:
The Currency of POLITICS is Not TRUST. It is common INTERESTS. Trust is for GIRLS, if you are a BOY. Polycarp should not have asked for Sonko’s TRUST. Sonko is NOT a Girl. He is a TH*G.

Kenya could use less sexist analysis. What in the world does “Trust is for girls” mean?
-
My sentiments exactly! “Definition of TRUST: firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone…”(gender not withstanding). Of course we would all want to “understand” what he was “trying” to imply. But Mutahi, sorry, we choose to interpret your statement LITERALLY

This one, i saw him at the launch on US direct
then resign,could he be headed to KQ or a ministry? Or he is just a GIRL -
KQ has a new CEO, he is headed elsewhere, or nowhere in particular. Keep still.

@IgathePolycarp is not a politician. He came from a background of service delivery at a very honest level. I would not rush to blame him. -

Igathe is not a politician, he is a corporate strategist. In his world, TRUST is the currency.

Here we go with the feminists
its just a metaphor… -
Then choose a metaphor that does not invoke gender stereotypes. This is a woman’s world too.
-
I believe certain traits are more predominant with the different genders..eg I can say as caring as a mother and as hardworking as a father…that doesn’t mean that it can’t be the latter..its Just English WordPlay!

Welcome to the new world starting 2017. Trump is openly racist and is POTUS. Sonko is openly illiterate and he is Governor of NAIROBI. (My gosh) Seeing how well it works for them in this new error (era) , I think Ngunyi deserves to be openly Sexist and be listened to also.

Christine I think you are on the spot. There nothing feminine about demanding trust. Mutahi is sexist to boot. I wish he said what he wished to say without invoking all that gas about girls.
