The angry legislator took to his social media platforms on Saturda and alleged that he had been roughly manhandled by an ODM MCA, a one Peter Imwatok.
The MCA represents Makongeni Ward at the Nairobi county assembly and was elected on an ODM ticket.

“Dear Raila Amolo Odinga. This is MCA Peter Imwatok of Makongeni, Nairobi, who accosted me, took away my BBI hat and even my seat at the Mombasa BBI meeting.”
“He is also the ODM minority whip in Nairobi County. My fault? Refusing to stand up when Baba entered the venue. Question: Baba is this how Kenya would be if you were to become president?” he posed.
A viral video shows Moses Kuria being roughed up by several leaders and embroiled in a bitter exchange as Raila Odinga was arriving at Mama Ngina Waterfront Park.

The reason, as he alleged, was that he remained seated as everyone else stood up in respect when Odinga walked into the venue.

However, replies to his post on Facebook showed that he deserved what he got for failing to recognize the people’s president, Raila Odinga.
“You deserve it, the other day you were threatening to cut up people who disrespected the President and not you are whining here,” one John Njuguna told him off.

The Gatundu South Mpa also had a rollercoaster moment at the forum later on after he was promised a chance to address the rally, following insistence from the crowd.
Moments before the MP graced the stage, the ODM leader called for an end of the forum which he stated was becoming charged and left the venue.
Kuria, however, did not hesitate to thank the Mombabasa residents for insisting that he be given a chance to address the forum.
“Mombasa, Mombasa, Mombasa! Your love is overwhelming! I have no words to thank you Mombasa. Though I was red-carded at the eleventh minute, you spoke and they got the message,” he wrote on his social media platforms.
Supporters of the MCA in question and the ODM Nairobi leadership have dismissed Kuria’s accusations only emphasizing that Raila had to be respected at all costs.
