Political scientist in hot soup for social media remarks

Mutahi Ngunyi, a political scientist famed for his ‘tyranny of numbers’ theory in the run-up to the March 2013 General Election, found himself in trouble after posting a tweet which targeted Luo community.
The tweet elicited resentment with the Law Society of Kenya top official calling for his prosecution.
He made a public apology through his tweeter account, and offered a goat to the LSK chief executive Apollo Mboya, who had lodged a complaint with the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) over Mutahi’s offensive tweet.
Mr Mboya will now act as an emissary to the Luo Elders’ Council but it is still not clear whether charges against Mutahi have been withdrawn.
