Back in 2008, Mutahi was this really respected regular guest on News shows. You couldn;t even tell which side he supported. Then something changed. Wonder what happened to him.
Some have suggested that the NYS scams did him in. Not so. Thievery has never hurt anyone in Kenya; in fact, the architects of the NYS scams seem to have simply moved on to "bigger and better" things.
Mutahi's "problem" has its roots in the fact that after his MOAS-like calculations (and corresponding .ppt slides), he got to be seen (largely through the promotion of the likes of one Jeff Koinange) as some sort of heavy-duty intellectual. And he bought into that view and encouraged it.
2013: Mr. Ngunyi
2014: Dr. Ngunyi
2015: Prof. Ngunyi
He looked all set to become Sir Ngunyi in 2016, but people started asking awkward questions: the guy dropped out of a Ph.D program at the University of Nairob, with the rank of "Tutorial Fellow"; where, when, and how did be become Dr. and Prof.? He got one heck of a beating in the media ... including even the
Daily Nonsense and
The Stunted. Nor did it help that when people looked into his consulting business, they found no more than a nice little scam based on his "funny" qualifications; for example, that he had listed a Ph.D. in funding applications well before 2014. Man never recovered, and plenty of people felt they had been made to look foolish.
Since then he has gone farther downhill in his efforts to get any sort of attention and has devoted his time and efforts into all sorts of nasty tribal baiting. Finally, true colours and the real Ngunyi.
