I thought the thread is about whether Mutua was misquoted or not. Or do you want to misquote him by saying that he was giving excuses? I have not seen him giving excuses.

In fact, he almost seemed to be critical of government.

@Tassia, the point is, is Alfy admitting that government has no machinery to know how many persons have died from hunger? the police who was interviewed on radio even admitting that he saw children suckling from there dead mother, Redcross coming out with persons who had died...and Mutua saying he has no "official" figures!!!??? The anger directed at Alfy was on his comments about death from hunger...

Watched the shorter video. He tried to absolve the higher ups in the government by throwing those on its lower end under the bus. He was still doing PR for the government while Kenyans are dying from hunger.

Personally I feel he got what he invited and deserved in this particular scenario. Better off contributing the little that I can to Red Cross than getting all worked up in his defence. I feel nothing for him.

I guess we are all entitled to interpret Mutua's statement they way we feel it suits us best. We do not have to persuade any one to agree with our view. In any case, would persuading any one to agree with our views help in feeding anyone. Let's do what we can do to help. Everyone including ourselves have their strong points and their weak points and that is what makes us humans.

Mutua's words were careless, another attempt at being the psychophant to the establishment that he is!!!....he got what he derserved!!!!
