During an appearance on The
Kisiangani Podcast, filmmaker Abel Mutua described Kenya as a company treating
citizens like products and argued the Constitution fails to shield people from
issues like 'goons,' suggesting a strong leader might suspend it.
His blunt words, including 'that thing we call
the Constitution is just a piece of toilet paper,' drew sharp backlash, with
critics like Gen Z Baddie accusing him of undermining the rule of law and
others noting its protection of his own speech.
Supporters echoed frustrations over enforcement favoring the powerful, fueling wider talks on rights and accountability ahead of 2027 elections.
