Kibe dismissed the idea of Maraga becoming a serious national contender, arguing that the former head of the Judiciary does not command the kind of public momentum required to anchor a strong presidential bid.
Kibe insisted that if the two of them were placed on a ballot, their support bases would be almost identical, and in his view, he would still emerge ahead.
He described Maraga as a respected figure in legal circles but not someone who could rally widespread electoral enthusiasm across the country.
According to him, running for the highest office demands charisma, strong public appeal, and the ability to connect with diverse groups, qualities he believes he possesses in greater measure.
His remarks have drawn mixed reactions online, with some dismissing them as his usual provocative style while others argued that his comments reflect a growing frustration among citizens toward traditional political choices.
Kibe maintained that his comparison was not meant to undermine Maraga personally but to highlight the gap between professional stature and political influence.
He added that many Kenyans are eager for fresh voices and unconventional leaders who understand public frustrations and are willing to speak boldly about them.
Whether his comments were a serious political statement or simply another moment of candid commentary, they have undoubtedly sparked a lively national conversation.
