Thursday January 3, 2019-Gatundu South MP, Moses Kuria, has said his life is in danger after he urged President Uhuru Kenyatta to allocate more resources to Mt Kenya region.
During his New Year’s Eve message at Thika Stadium, Kuria, who was drunk like a skunk, threw a jibe at President Uhuru Kenyatta accusing him of ignoring Mt Kenya region and developing areas that voted for opposition.
“The President should stop taking us for fools," Kuria said in a speech that has since gone viral.
Following his remarks, Kiambu County Governor, Ferdinand Waititu, fired Kuria’s brother John Ngigi Kuria, who was Kiambu County Chief Officer in charge of Agriculture and Marketing.
In an interview with one of the dailies on Thursday, Kuria said Waititu's move to sack his brother was politically instigated.
“My brother went through a very competitive and open recruitment process. I never interfered nor influenced. He has a MSc in Agricultural Economics from University of Nairobi and many years of experience. Clearly Waititu is acting out of political malice but he is not acting alone. I ask Kenyans to pray for my safety," Kuria said.
