“UDA Wants To Take Us Back To Dark KANU Era,” Moses Kuria Trashes Ruto Party In Explosive Social Media Post

By Hon Moses Kuria, via FB

I note with concern attempts by the team of my fellow Mt Kenya MPs who met in Aberdares today to label all other parties as regional, tribal or selfish

The truth of the matter is that the United Democratic Alliance which they purport to portray as the ONLY vehicle in the region is only one member of the Hustler Nation. Further, the Hustler Nation is and can not be owned by any particular individual as we started it all as a mass movement and an idea whose time has come

It is also a fact that UDA is perceived to be dominated by incumbent MPs who are hell bent to lock out their potential challengers out of the 2022 race.

Further, a party that has only 1 MP and 2 MCAs from Kiambu, Nyandarua and Nakuru can not claim to have bragging rights to brand all other parties as regional or tribal.

This is the kind of hubris and chest thumping that destroyed the Jubilee Party which we formed with so much hope and enthusiasm. It is the clearest attempt to take us to the days of the one party state and the dark KANU era. I was in the clamour for multi-partyism and the second liberation alongside Hon Mwangi Kiunjuri and Hon Martha Karua, as a young and vibrant student leader at the University of Nairobi. I am not as young and vibrant today and I can not go back to the streets to fight for multi-partyism again. I can only guard what is there.

The price of freedom is vigilance. We embrace and are all ready for team work, to work with everyone towards economic emancipation of all Hustlers. But we can not afford to close our eyes and forget contemporary history, let alone missing to learn from it. We are cognisant that history is a terrible bed to sleep in yet it is a wonderful lesson to learn.

It is this lesson that we failed to learn from the warning signals of 1992 and 1997 that led this country to a near armageddon of 2007/2008. If we had learnt this lesson in 1992 and 1997, a child who was thrown from the BOTTOM of a Church UP a window on 30th December 2007 would have survived.

I look forward to working with like minded colleagues in the HUSTLER NATION MOVEMENT to REALISTICALLY uplift the lives of all Hustlers.

I am a man on a mission to defend our hard fought democratic gains. In this MISSION I have no SPACE to retreat nor LUXURY to SURRENDER

UDA is NOT the only political party in the Hustler Nation Family. Any other narrative is false, outdated and ill-intentioned

Ruto Reveals Why He’s Still In Jubilee Even After Forming UDA

written by Mustafa Juma

Deputy President William Ruto has spoken on why he is still in the ruling Jubilee party even after forming the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

Speaking on Thursday August 5, 2021 after hosting a UDA party Parliamentary Group at his Karen residence in Nairobi, the second in command said that no one should dictate him on whether to leave Jubilee or not.

According to DP Ruto, he is not a guest in the President Uhuru Kenyatta-led party, maintaining that he has his own choice whether to leave the party or not.

The DP noted that people make choices at the opportune moment when they think different choices are necessary, and therefore nobody should be bothered on why they are still there.

Ruto who was flanked by his allies also said that people should stop mocking their bottom-up economic approach.

“We welcome criticism but don’t mock our bottom-up economic model..” said the second in command.

Ruto’s allies who also addressed the press at the same event termed Jubilee as a “collapsed” political outfit that had “abandoned its agenda.

They also accused the defunct National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition of hijacking the Jubilee agenda.

DP Ruto’s political opponents have been calling him to either resign or quit Jubilee since he has a new political outfit which he has been using to directly compete with President Kenyatta during by-elections.

The opponents who include ODM leader Raila Odinga’s allies and President Kenyatta’s loyalists have maintained that the DP has been disrespecting his boss.

written by Mustafa Juma

Over 100 Members of Parliament allied to Deputy President William Ruto on Thursday August 5, 2021 flocked his Karen resident in Nairobi for a ‘hustle nation’ meeting.

The ‘hustler nation‘ spokesperson Dennis Itumbi had on Wednesday August 4 given hints about the meeting, with discussions on the bottom-up economic approach set to dominate the meeting.

Itumbi through his official social media handles had hinted that the DP will host a hustler nation legislators parliamentary group meeting to take the bottom-up economy conversation to the next level.

Photos seen by this writer as at the time of publishing this article show several lawmakers allied to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) already at the venue.

The newly sworn-in UDA MP Wanjiku Njuguna, Malindi MP Aisha Jumwa, South Mugirango MP Sylvanus Osoro and nominated MP David Ole-Sankok are some of the notable lawmakers that had already lined up to take photos at the venue.

More than 140 people are in attendance, with the Ruto-allied lawmakers expected to use the platform to evaluate their reach in the grassroots mobilisation and strategise how to navigate the political environment.

Njuguna who won the Kiamba parliamentary seat through a by-election was sworn in on Wednesday August 4 while in the company of MPs Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu) and Kimani Ichungwah (Kikuyu).

The DP Ruto brigade has been telling Kenyans that the bottom-up approach is the only way that will heal the country’s eceonomy.

The DP is banking on the narrative to succeed President Uhuru Kenyatta in a race that will pit him and the ODM leader Raila Odinga in 2022.

Laikipia Woman Rep Cate Waruguru Speaks On Re-joining DP Ruto’s Camp

written by Mustafa Juma

Laikipia County Woman Representative Catherine Waruguru has broken her silence on claims that she has joined Deputy President William Ruto’s camp.

Reports had circulated on social media that the controversial lawmaker had ditched the ruling Jubilee party to join DP Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

While addressing the media on Wednesday July 14, Waruguru claimed that the President Uhuru Kenyatta-led Jubilee Party is in limbo.

According to her, much needs to be done to restore the public confidence in the ruling party.

“There has been a massive exodus from the Jubilee Party and I have seen speculations from the members of the public asking whether Waruguru has moved to the ‘wheelbarrow’ side. My answer to their speculations is relative, every serious politician, you listen to your electorates. I am on my own. My bosses are the voters and the people of Laikipia,” Waruguru said.

She further noted that she will be making an announcement very soon telling the country of her decision.

The MP added that the people will be the ones to decide as to which side they would like to vote in terms of the parties.

Jubilee’s Karanja Njama Speaks On Claims He’s Pulled Out Of Kiambaa By-election

written by Mustafa Juma

Jubilee party candidate in the Kiambaa by-election Karanja Kariri Njama has broken his silence over claims that he has pulled out of the mini poll.

Speaking shortly after speculations that he had pulled out of the hotly contested race, Kariri Njama dismissed the claims, arguing that the rumours are being spread by his opponents who have already sensed defeat.

Reports had emerged that a section of Kiambaa constituency voters had started receiving text messages alleging that Kariri Njama had pulled out of the race.

Blogger Robert Alai took to his official Twitter account to accuse the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party of accessing the Kiambaa voters’ database and sent messages to them saying that the Jubilee candidate had withdrawn. Dailytrends.co.ke cannot, however, substantiate the blogger’s allegation, since that is his own opinion.

The highly anticipated Kiambaa by-election is set for Thursday, July 15, and stakes in the mini poll are high.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission cleared eight candidates to compete in the race. Kariri Njama will fly the ruling Jubilee Party’s flag in the Kiambaa by-election.

He was awarded the party’s ticket to run for the parliamentary seat after emerging as the best candidate following rigorous interviews conducted by the outfit’s officials.

UDA party associated with Deputy President William Ruto unveiled John Njuguna Wanjiku as its flagbearer in the contest.

The Kiambaa MP seat fell vacant following the death of Paul Koinange on Wednesday, March 31. Koinange was elected Kiambaa MP on a Jubilee Party ticket in the 2017 General Election.
