Kuria wants MPs not defending Uhuru rejected in 2017

Gatundu South MP has hit out at Mount Kenya Jubilee leaders, accusing them of incompetence and failing to defend the government.

Mr Moses Kuria dismissed Jubilee MPs, Governors and Senators terming them as a liability and called for their rejection in 2017 elections.

Speaking during a fundraiser in aid of St Anne Kaitheri Catholic Church in Kirinyaga County Mr Kuria accused the MPs of failing to represent those who elected them properly in parliament and keeping quiet when the opposition wrongly accuses the government.

"The MPs have let the President and the electorates down and they should be sent packing," he said amid applause.

Mr Kuria boasted that in the entire region he is the only lawmaker who is aggressive in representing the electorates and defending the government.

"Except me, have you heard of any other MP from the region locked up in cells for fighting for government?" he asked.

Mr Kuria told the congregation that he will be on the forefront in leading a campaign against the lawmakers and governors from the region.

"Governors from this region are highly retrogressive. They have achieved nothing since they took over power and they should be shown the exit," he said.

However he blamed locals for voting in leaders from the region blindly.

"The voters from the region elect bad leaders and few weeks after the elections they start complaining of poor representation. The voters should blame themselves because they are the ones who elect these bad leaders to work with the President," he said.

County Women Representative, Wangui Ngirici vowed to work with elected leaders who were not advocating for violence.

"What I want is peace and I will only partner in development with peaceful elected leaders,” she said.

Mrs Ngirici who had been accompanied by her husband Mr Andrew Ngirici accused area politicians of hurling insults at her because of her development record.
