Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has ranted on the state of affairs within Deputy President William Ruto’s brigade after reportedly being labelled a mole despite his claims that he’s the reason behind the success of the party.<\/p>\n

Speaking in Kigumo, Murang’a County on Tuesday, August 24, Kuria, in a no holds barred approach, posed a query as to how he would be a mole for an outgoing President who has expressed his desire to leave office after the 2022 General Election.<\/p>\n

He noted that those pointing fingers at him within the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) outfit ought to change the conversation.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to stand here and allow someone to accuse me of being deep state. President Uhuru Kenyatta pronounced that he’s going home. So how can I be deep state for someone who is going home? Let’s change the conversation,” Kuria stated.<\/p>\n

Kuria also claimed the bragging rights for UDA’s recent success in the Kiambaa by-elections. He stated that the party would not have gained victory were it not for his intervention.<\/p>\n

According to the Gatundu South MP, the UDA brand had faced a string of losses in the previous by-elections while his People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) was fresh off gaining victory in the Juja by-elections.<\/p>\n

The legislator felt displeased that the UDA brigade claimed his Juja victory as one of their own.<\/p>\n

“I went ahead to win in Juja and after that, all these people, Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua and co. neither helped nor contributed in any way.<\/p>\n

“They were there praising my victory as one for the hustler nation, I don’t know when this changed and when I became a criminal or an outcast for Gachagua to go all over blasting me because I have a party,” he wondered.<\/p>\n

Kuria also pointed out that the UDA outfit had a debt to pay for the Kiambaa by-elections victory and should support his candidate in the next by-elections.<\/p>\n

The wrangles between Kuria and the UDA outfit have been boiling over in the recent past.<\/p>\n

The fallout played in Ruto’s recent Parliamentary Group meeting where he addressed Kuria’s absence from the meeting.<\/p>\n

“Tell them that the only PEP MP who belongs to the hustler nation (George) Koimburi is here,” Ruto told Garissa MP Aden Duale during the presser.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
