Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi apologises for tweets

Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has offered an apology to the Luo community over controversial posts on his twitter account.

Ngunyi posted the apology on the same social media platform on Tuesday (August 25, 2015) saying that his previous comments were never meant to cause any harm.

The tweet stated: “I apologize to the LUO NATION unreservedly. No harm INTENDED. I am a product of Luo SCHOLARS whom I RESPECT immensely. I eat the HUMBLE PIE (sic).

This comes hours later after the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) requested that Mutahi Ngunyi be investigated over hate speech after posting tweets in reference to CORD Principal Raila Odinga and the Luo community.

The political scientist on Monday blasted LSK CEO Apollo Mboya for writing to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission over the matter.

He accused Mboya of abuse of office, demeaning the law profession and also working for CORD members.
