When ODM party leader Raila Odinga arrived at Mama Ngina water front, the venue of the event, Kuria happened not to have stood up.

It is at this point that Nairobi Makongeni ward MCA Peter Imwatok  accosted him and took away his BBI hat.

In video footage making rounds on social media, a group of people were recorded heckling the MP as he tried to fire back verbally.

He, however, resisted all attempts as he ‘defended his seat’.

Mr Kuria also revealed that the MCA  is also the ODM minority whip in Nairobi County. 

He cried out to Raila, seemingly calling action against the MCA.

“Dear Raila Amolo Odinga. This is the idiot 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 posted.

written by Mustafa Juma

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has dragged Murang’a Woman Rep Sabina Chege into IEBC official Chris Msando’s murder.

Speaking during his much anticipated press conference on the matter,the controversial MP said Sabina Chege had accompanied him to Roysambu at the time when he was photographed standing next to Msando’s car.

He however denied knowing any information saying he had gone there after unidentified women informed him that they had spotted the IEBC official’s car at a time when he was said to have been missing.

Kuria further said he and Chege later recorded statements with DCI on what they knew.

“I had had to live with a barrage of accusations and innuendos that linked mt to the death of Chris Msando. This was because I had taken a photo of Msando somewhere in Roysambu. I want the media to know on that day, there was reporting that Chris Msando had disappeared. Citizen TV circulated a photo of his vehicle. I was in Murang’a County on that day campaigning and after we were done, a media personality covering our campaign informed me that Msando’s vehicle had been found in Roysambu.

“I was in the company of among others, Murang’s Woman Rep Sabina Chege. We called the OCPD Kasarani Police Division even before getting to the scene. I and Sabina Chege were later escorted to the scene, all along we were in the company of police officers. Withing two days, myself and Sabina were summoned by DCI Nairobi area and recorded statement,” Kuria said.

The MP called on the media and members of the public to forthwith cease linking him with the murder of Chris Msando which he said was unfairly tarnishing his reputation.

You Will be Held Responsible For Disobeying Court Orders, Ruto Tells Government

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President Dr William Ruto has told the government and its responsible officials that they will be held responsible for disobeying court orders.

Speaking in Olerai, Narok County, Ruto said disobedience of court orders was setting Kenya on the verge of sliding into anarchy and impunity.

This comes just a day after police officers at Kilimani police station refused to release Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria whose representatives had a court order demanding his release on a Ksh 50,000 bail.

The officers are said to have maintained that they were following orders from above.

Mr Kuria was later on Friday evening released on a Ksh 20,000 police bail.

However, that was not the first court order to have been ignored.

The resurging wave of disobedience to court orders is similar of actions by the national executive in the period leading to the 2017 general election and post the election when the government, in February 2018, deported opposition activist and lawyer Miguna Miguna despite the court having issued an order directing the State to produce him in court, “dead or alive”.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi, who alongside then Immigration Principal Secretary Gordon Kihalangwa, and former National Police Service Inspector General Joseph Boinnet were fined Sh200,000 each for contempt of court, later dismissed the orders accusing the court of dishing out verdicts to frustrate government.

Miguna, a self-proclaimed General of the National Resistance Movement (NRM), has since made three unsuccessful attempts to return to the country.

He was deported back to Canada in March after spending 72 hours at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, demanding to be allowed reentry on a Kenyan passport seized when he was initially deported in February.

Miguna’s third attempt to return to Kenya aborted on Tuesday, January 7 after two airlines declined to fly him to Nairobi over red alert advisories issued by the government.

This happened even after his lawyers led by Dr John Khaminwa acquired other court orders demanding the state to facilitate Miguna Miguna’s return.

Beaten And Robbed!Itumbi Narrates His Ordeal in The Hands of Rogue Cops at Kilimani

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Former State House employee Dennis Itumbi has narrated his ordeal in the hands of rogue police officers at Kilimani police station on Friday evening.

Itumbi alongside some tanga tanga affiliated MPs flocked Kilimani police station to demand for the release of Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria who was arrested over assault.

They had gone with a court order that demanded him released on a Ksh 50,000 bond.

Below is a long post shared by Itumbi on facebook.

Hahaaa.

” Do not worry,” The policeman at the gate told me as he held my hand.

” You know how this works, we are just following orders,” The cop continued as he told me ” I will escort you To the car, so that you are not beaten by my colleagues.

” I understand, ” I said and redirected the conversation, ” so, normally, how many days off do you get in a week?

” It depends on operations, sometimes two and other times three,”

“Oooh interesting, ” the Tear gas fumes were still affecting everyone even the officers who were coughing and pouring water to reduce the checking effect.

” Huyo ni nani afande? One cop shouted from a distance as we walked towards together. He was holding my arm.

” Usijali, we no on orders, but nitaongea nayo, usiwache Mmmh I wangu, ” The Friendly cop said to me

” Shika huyo,” I saw two cops drag someone past me, I was later to learn it was a Nation Journalist.

He was put in despite producing his Press Card.

Screams followed. ” Your children will never be anything,” a KTN journalist who had been beaten and I was later to learn sprained his arm shouted as he took off. He had also walked in to pick his car.

My friendly cop responded, to the group of cops who had blocked our way and formed a near perfect Semi-Circle, ” Huyu ni Itumbi alikuwa na sisi siku mzima, anaenda kuchukua Gari,”

” Apana yeye ndiye alileta waheshimiwa”

” Tupatie Yeye, ” another shouted hitting his rungu on his palms slightly.

“Itumbi ndiye aliita media” another shouted as my friendly cop stood his ground tightening his grip on my hand.

” Ata alikuwa Live Facebook, ni yeye ameleta pressure,”

The next thing I was pulled from my friendly cop by several policemen who were obviously more than a dozen.

They kicked, rained blows, swang their rungus on any part of the body they could reach.

“Simu iko wapi?” As one threw me on the ground kicks continued.

Fortunately, I did not have my phone or wallet just some 2, 200 shillings which they found and pulled.

As the kicks continued, I sensed it would not stop. So, I held the legs of one of them and as he turned to free himself…i got my chance and fled for the exit gate, with some chasing me.

A few dwellings and bruises was the report form of my experience in the arms of the goons, because they cannot be police officers.

Eventually, using a few tricks, I managed to drive off.

But, Meen, that was a good beating.

You get enjoy some hurdles on this journey, without them you cannot tell such beautiful stories.

Naitwa Mwangi, pole for the beating too.

Cherotich Carren Kiki niko poa.

Asanteni for all the calls and texts across platforms.

Mambo kidogo sana hii….God has surrounded us with His angels.

Be blessed

Aluta Continua!

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has promised more hostility on Kandara MP Alice Wahome should she fail to respect President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.

In an early Saturday social media post, Babu Owino said that the Kandara lawmaker must respect the two leaders if she want to have it easy.

He promised to have every part of her body shaved should she fail to respect President Kenyatta and Raila.

“Alice Wahome must respect Baba and President Uhuru or we will shave every part of her body that has hair.This is not a threat it’s a promise,” posted Babu Owino.

His post comes a day after Wahome alongside other tanga tanga allied MPs faced hostility at Kilimani Police station.

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and Wahome are some of the legislators that were on Friday night teargassed while camping outside the Police Station.

They were waiting for detained Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria to be released on a Sh50,000 bond.

According to Nyoro, apart from the teargas, some of their motor vehicles have been smashed.

“They have teargassed us ruthlessly and smashed some of our vehicles inside Kilimani Police Station as we tried to have them obey a court order on Hon Moses Kuria’s release. Members of the press were not spared either. We are African and Africa is our Business…” Nyoro said.

Moses Kuria was arrested on Friday after a Kiambu woman identified as Joyce Wanja accused him of assaulting her in December 2019.

Senior principal magistrate Cheruiyot ordered for Moses Kuria’s release on a Sh50,000 bond.

This is the order the tanga tanga leaders wanted the police to obey.

The police however disobeyed the order indicating that they will only take orders from Harambee House.

Moses Kuria Has Been Arrested Over BBI, Claims Moha Jicho Pevu

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has been arrested over his continued attack on Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), Nyali MP Mohamed Ali popularly known as Moha Jicho Pevu has claimed.

Speaking in a Kikuyu accent on Friday, Moha claimed Mr Kuria has not been arrested for assaulting a woman as being claimed.

He criticized Pro-BBI leaders for wasting public money on BBI sensitization meetings instead of concentrating on bettering the Kenyan economy.

Moses Kuria has been slamming the government for ignoring coffee and Milk farmers whilst giving BBI a priority.

The Nyali MP claims billions of money is being wasted on BBI while Kenyans continue to suffer.

Mr Kuria was arrested on Friday over an assault case filed against him on December 10, 2019.

Joyce Wanja said she was assaulted on December 8 last year at the RMS premises during a show she and the MP were invited to discuss BBI.

Moses Kuria was taken to Kilimani Police station where he is spending his weekend.

Kuria has said he is ready to pay the price for others to get freedom.

The MP on Friday said it was unfair for police to arrest him over a matter he claims to be a complainant over.

Kuria, through Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wa, said his adamant stand on the BBI is what has put him in trouble, but he will not be intimidated.

He said because he has chosen to be part of the William Ruto camp, some elements within the government have resorted to frustrating him.

He has said he does not understand why police chose to arrest him, yet last year he made a formal complaint at the Kilimani station over the assault claims.

Moses Kuria: Justin Muturi was bribed with a tilapia meal by Mbadi to rule out a parliamentary route for BBI

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Controversial Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has claimed that National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi was bribed by a tilapia meal by Suba MP John Mbadi to rule out a parliamentary route for Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.

Kuria further announced that he was launching a bid to impeach the National Assembly Speaker.

Muturi, speaking at a church fundraiser in Migori County on Sunday, December 1, had insisted that it was up to Kenyans to read the BBI report and decide on how to go about it, and not the National Assembly’s role to decide for the public.

“If it was justice Maraga pronouncing himself in a public baraza on how he will rule on a matter before the court, there would be no devils in hell. They would all be in Kenya. Why Justin Muturi would allow himself to be bribed with a tilapia meal by John Mbadi in Migori to rule out a parliamentary route for BBI is a mystery to me. Today I will start collecting signatures to impeach him,” Kuria wrote.

Moses Kuria, Wa Muchomba clash in front of Matiang’i over BBI

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria clashed with the Kiambu Woman Representative Gathoni wa Muchomba after he dismissed those calling for adoption of BBI report through a referendum.

It all started when Mr Kuria told a gathering at a function in Kirinyaga on Friday that there was no logic in the country spending billions to take the document back to the public when they had already given their views on the same.

“It was just the other day we spent Sh500 million collecting views on the same initiative. Why would we again want to spend more on a referendum when we can easily get everything done through Parliament where we are the people’s representatives?” posed Kuria.

But Ms Wamuchomba dismissed the parliamentary route claiming that MPs could not be trusted to undertake the process as they can be compromised.

“We cannot allow this process to be left to these political thugs and it should be left to the people who are supreme on matters Constitution,” she said.

The Woman Reps remarks attracted the fury of MPs Gichimu Githinji (Gichugu) and Wangui Ngirichi (Kirinyaga Woman Rep), who were attending a harambee in aid of Gathuthini Hope Foundation organised by Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho. Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i was in attendance.

“By simply expressing our democratic rights to state how we feel the BBI should move, and supporting that it comes through Parliament, does not make us political thugs,” Ms Ngirichi said.

“Which unity are we talking about? I flew from Nairobi on a chopper, when I got to Sagana I was shown where to sit on the grass in the sun as if one needs to be shown where to sit in an open space. The meeting flopped,” said the Gatundu South MP.

Mr Kuria who had arrived in a chopper after the President was not even allowed into the VIP podium.

Tigania West MP John Mutunga who arrived late was also barred from the red carpet area even as Igembe North’s Maoka Maore who arrived after him was rushed through the red carpet and given a strategic sitting position.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Kimilili constituency Member of Parliament Didmus Barasa has invited applications for recruitment of 500 persons to join team ahead of 2022 political battle.

During the recruitment, the lawmaker says persons with certificate of good conduct will be disqualified and that Training commences immediately.

He further notes that an attractive commission and retainer will be offered to successful applicants.

“Its on this basis that I invite applications for recruitment of 500 persons to join my team,those with certificate of good conduct will be disqualified. Training commences imediately. An attractive commission and retainer will be offered to successful applicants,” reads Barasa’s post.

On Saturday, Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria urged Kenyans to build their “own goons battalions ahead of 2022” if violence witnessed in Kibra during the just concluded mini polls is anything to go by.

Kuria who took to social media to condemn the violence meted upon some Jubilee party politicians during the Thursday by elections expressed is shock in how Kenyans are making fun of the incidents.

While noting that he was not supporting Jubilee candidate McDonald Mariga in the Kibra parliamentary race,Kuria said that Kenyans should give everyone a chance to campaign freely anywhere.

He noted that the handshake between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM party leader Raila Odinga was meant to resolve issues such as electoral violence.

He has further noted that the incident in which Simba Arati ordered goons to beat Kimilili MP Didimus Baraza infront of cameras is despicable.

According to the controversial MP, “Since Fred Matiangi and the security system has said nothing about this, I presume it’s fair game and we should all depend on goons not on the police”.

He says the fact that the incidents happened in the handshake bedroom speaks volumes about the “Building Batallions Initiative”, a term he has used to mock the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).

He finishes his post by urging Kenyans to build their own goons battalions ahead of 2022 political period.

“I am still in shock that Kenyans are making fun of the violence meted upon Boni Khalwale and Didimus Baraza in Kibra. It is public knowledge that I was NOT supporting McDonald Mariga but we should give everyone a chance to campaign freely anywhere. The handshake was meant to resolve issues such as electoral violence. Simba Arati ordering goons to beat Didimus Baraza infront of cameras is despicable. Since Fred Matiangi and the security system has said nothing about this, I presume it’s fair game and we should all depend on goons not on the police. That this happened in the handshake bedroom speaks volumes about the Building Batallions Initiative. Let’s all build our own goons battalions ahead of 2022,” reads Moses Kuria’s post.

Moses Kuria Reveals Mariga’s Next Winning Spot After Kibra Loss

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has mocked Jubilee candidate in Kibra by elections McDonald Mariga after loosing the hotly contested race to ODM’s Bernard Otieno Okoth (Imran).

While congratulating Imran moments after Mariga conceded defeat, Moses Kuria consoled Mariga, telling him that he still had some hope during Sunday’s Mashemeji Derby.

“Congratulations @ImranOkoth for outright victory for you, my friend Ken Okoth and the people of Kibra. Pole sana @MarigaOfficial there is still hope on Sunday during the #MashemejiDerby ,” Moses Kuria tweeted.

Mariga called ODM’s Imran Okoth to concede defeat in the Kibra by-election.

A video of Mariga released late Thursday evening showed the Jubilee candidate making the phone call to Okoth.

“Hallo boss, ni Mariga. Nimepiga nikuambie congratulations. Race imekuwa poa, hatukupigana mahali popote tulikuwa pamoja. Niko ready hata kwa lunch…vile utataka, na pia support yoyote utataka kutoka kwangu, niko ready,” Mariga said.

He continued: “After elections tutarudi ile life yetu ya mabeshte na kila kitu…Kabisa Sir.”

Okoth is heard acknowledging the congratulatory message and thanking Mariga for the phone call.

At the time the phone call was made, Okoth had garnered just about 4,051 votes against Mariga’s 1602 from 32 of the 183 polling stations.

Raila is a Tough Sell in Mt Kenya-Moses Kuria

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria says that Raila Odinga is a tough sell in Mt Kenya despite his dalliance with President Uhuru Kenyatta following their handshake.

Kuria, who was appearing on K24 TV’s Punchline show on Sunday, said that Mt Kenya region is uneasy with Raila’s push for a parliamentary system.

“I am not sure that Mt Kenya have come to consider who they are going to vote for. Do you want the truth or the cousin of the truth?…tough sell,” said Kuria when asked about if Mt Kenya is ready for Raila as suggested by Kirinyaga County governor, Anne Waiguru.

The Gatundu South MP said central region residents are uneasy about Raila’s proposal for parliamentary system since it would disadvantage them.

“Maybe that is what scares them about such a line up. In 10 counties in what we call 10 plus three…with all that and 6 million votes, we have got only 64 constituencies out of 290 and unless that is redressed we are going to have a big issue. Every time they hear about Raila Odinga, they say he wants to introduce a parliamentary system and our 64 constituencies don’t count for much. They think it is loss of their historical advantage,” said Kuria.

The MP, who plans to be on the presidential ticket in 2022 to battle it out with his party leader, said Mt Kenya region MPs are divided but have been receiving “love” from Deputy President William Ruto.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

With over 1,000 days to go before the next elections. The rest of the country is calm. One can be forgiven for assuming that the next elections will take place in Mt Kenya only. What will you tell the people when Raila Odinga and William Ruto gang up to form a united team to take over in 2022?” he posted.

Nyoro on Sunday night was holed inside Royal Media Services since 9.30pm, evading arrest.He went to RMS’s Inooro TV for a show that was to end at 9pm.A few minutes to midnight, he is said to have sneaked out.
