Raila Defends DP Ruto But Likens ‘Hustlers Vs Dynasties’ Slogan To Hitler’s Nazism
In a statement on Wednesday, the ODM leader said the proposed Bill by Parliament’s National Security Committee that seeks to criminalize the ‘hustlers versus dynasties’ campaign slogan is unnecessary. The Bill proposes severe fines, jail time, and removal from office for any leader who propagates it.
According to the former Prime Minister, Ruto has freedom of speech and association as stipulated in the Constitution and should therefore be allowed to run his campaign without inhibitions.
Raila, however, noted that the hustler versus dynasties narrative is dangerous and scary. He likened it to Adolf Hitler’s National Socialism(Nazism) which profiled German society along racial and tribal lines.

Raila, in a statement to newsrooms yesterday, said he had learnt of proposals by Parliament s National Security Committee that seek to criminalise Ruto s hustlers versus dynasties campaign slogan.
The proposed punishment are severe fines, jail time and even removal from office for any leader who propagates the slogan.
While maintaining that he had on several occasions explained that the slogan was dangerous given its similarity to Adolf Hitler s national socialism most often referred to as Nazism and its subsequent damage to the world, he strongly appealed to MPs to drop any attempt to legislate against the hustlers tag.
