Controversial City Lawyer Prof. Makau Mutua on Monday found himself in trouble with Kenyans over his consistent attacks on Deputy President William Ruto’s source of wealth.
In an article, he wrote in a local daily, the Professor of Law questioned Ruto’s source of millions which he donates in churches citing that the DP was raised in a poor background and that he has refused to declare his sources of wealth.
He even went further to claim that the DP could even be having more money than God.
“Every weekend, and sometimes twice on Sundays, Mr Ruto carpet-bombs churches in Central Kenya and Luhya country with wads of cash. The clerics have received the loot as though it was manna from heaven. The mullah isn’t in the thousands, but tens of millions of precious shillings. I should be forgiven for thinking that Mr Ruto has more money than God,” Mutua wrote.
Mutua has established himself as one of Ruto’s biggest critics. In a recent interview, he claimed that Ruto will not clinch the 2022 presidential seat as he has exhausted all his avenues among the fake assassination plot.
Kenyans have bashed the professor for his obsession with Ruto.
Here are reactions from netizens on Mutua’s attack on Ruto;

Buying the church in the name of God with looted money. Church has become the most corrupt and the biggest joke of our time.

When you see a man build an altar for God in his house wachana na yeye. @WilliamsRuto commitment and relationship with God is on another level. God will never disappoint him 🙏

I do suggest he plays “god” when he suggests his contributions to church are a solution to ending poverty after taunting Raila as “Lord of poverty”. In kenyan churches who is the provider?
Ruto or Jehovah Jireh?
His perceived devotionto God is a different story— @amigokenya (@amigokenya_) August 4, 2019
When @GideonMoiGM and @skmusyoka attend church n fundraiser, give money, ppl keep silent, but when @WilliamsRuto does it, news all over. Let WSR give, if u can’t stay away. Your obsession with his giving will chock you.

Which leader has so far provided his audited accounts in Kenya leave alone Trump in America. It’s hate when you judge Ruto using a distinct scale from other politicians
