Gatundu South Member of Parliament has come to the rescue of his colleagues after a controversial Standard Newspaper headline.
The Standard on Monday morning ran a headline that termed the lawmakers as traitors.
In the story, the Standard said that the lawmakers are manufacturing all manner of reasons to protect their hefty perks and avoid taking responsibility for directing government response to the coronavirus pandemic.
The newspaper accused the MPs of doing nothing to cushion people and businesses from being wiped out by COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the Mombasa road based media house, the only time the lawmakers seemed to regain their voices – and in their numbers – was on Saturday to protest and defend the leadership coup in the fractious Jubilee Party.
But coming to the defense of the lawmakers, Moses Kuria claimed that the owners of the media house were paid by the state to tarnish the name of the MPs.
The controversial lawmaker argues that the first step was to ensure that the parliament doesn’t meet.
Mr Kuria claims that the second step was to bribe the media to blame the victims. He argues that a suspect budget is then brought and hide everything under COVID-19 and if MPs refuse, they will then be balmed.
“First you ensure parliament doesnt meet. Then you bribe Gideon Moi’s media to blame the victims. Then you will bring a suspect budget and hide everything under COVID and if MPs refuse you will say “See, didnt I tell you these Wakoras are traitors?” We didnt come with the Railway,” Moses Kuria posted on his social media pages.
