Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has mocked his own ruling Jubilee party disclosing how he has been used in many occasions to tame the Raila Odinga opposition.
Kuria, who has been in hiding for the last 3 days, revealed that President Uhuru Kenyatta’s administration had used him as a guinea pig, to threaten and pass a message to the opposition.
The vocal legislator ridiculously stated that the government would be so ready to donate him for use as a guinea pig in the upcoming trials for the coronavirus vaccines, given how they have used him in the past.
“I am very sure if the United Nations demand that a Kenyan be offered to test the Corona Virus vaccine, the Kenya government will offer Moses Kuria as the guinea pig to test the vaccine,” he wrote on social media.
This was the first time the MP spoke since he was captured in a video speaking to hundreds of Kariobangi South residents whose houses had been demolished by the government he serves in.
The MP claimed that a very senior government officer had ordered for his arrest for visiting the displaced persons, whose rights he maintains had been violated by the very government they elected.
“To the people of Korogocho and Kariobangi village, you shall not walk alone. I will be back with my colleagues and other well wishers to stand with you,” Kuria wrote in a long post narrating his ordeal.
In Moses Kuria’s view, the arrest of the area MCA for helping the needy families and his intended nabbing was aimed at making sure politician leave the poor in mysery and don’t speak up on the demolitions in the area.
He pledged to return to the area and help the families kicked out of their houses into the rains and cold even int he wake of the covid-19 pandemic.
“I have been used before as a guinea pig to send a message to the opposition, the political class . I was arrested and charged in 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017 to facilitate arrests of opposition leaders. I had to battle those charges in court before I was acquitted of all of them But. But still, I am not a guinea pig,” says Moses Kuria.
