Gatundu South residents have called out Trade, Industry and Investment Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria over an alleged attack on former President Uhuru Kenyatta and the larger Kenyatta family

 

The CS is also reported to have warned the retired president against sabotaging President William Ruto’s government, asking the former Head of State to respect Ruto.

In his remarks, Kuria upheld that Uhuru must respect Ruto and accept that the latter fairly won elections saying he will continue to defend the current president’s administration as he used to defend Uhuru’s.

But his sentiments did not sit well with Gatundu South residents who have now told him off.

Retract comments

Led by a group of elderly men, women and the youth, the residents demanded that Kuria apologises to the Kenyattas for the unsavoury comments he made during the event.

They also asked Kuria to concentrate on working for Kenyans by using his powerful position to create jobs for the jobless, and support local investments to grow instead of sustained attacks on the former Head of State.

Monica Njeri, a resident, told journalists that despite the hate by Kuria, Uhuru Kenyatta remains adorable to them owing to his composure and the social-economic developments he initiated in the constituency when he was president.

Njeri told Kuria to concentrate on reviving the collapsing macadamia and avocado industries that most farmers in the country depend on for survival instead of misusing his energy on needless attacks of individuals. 

“Kuria should concentrate on restoring sanity in the macadamia sector that is dying. He was not appointed to be abusing people, his job is to grow investments locally and help small businesses grow. Let him focus on delivering the promises Ruto made to Kenyans including creating jobs for the unemployed,” Njeri said.

Njuguna Mwaura, an elderly man from Ng’enda Ward insisted that Gatundu South men are ready to pay debts owed to Kuria by the Kenyattas, if there are any.

“Customarily, men fight each other because of two things; money and women. If the beef between Kuria and Uhuru is based on any of the two, we are ready to pay the ultimate price,” angry Mwaura said.

He regretted that the nonstop attacks against the former president have brought shame to the constituency and urged the CS to stop the attacks.

Karumbe Wa Mungai, another elderly man stated that as men, they will not sit any further and watch the attacks degenerate into an irreversible crisis and as such, Kuria should be tamed and told to focus on service delivery.

While terming Kuria’s sentiments as disturbing, Mungai rooted for respect, and sobriety among leaders for social-economic development of the country.

“We came here to warn Kuria against these attacks. Kenyatta is the founder of this nation and continuing to attack him and his family may bring you curses. You can insult Uhuru because he could be your age mate but hurling pointless attacks on his mother may attract curses. Please stop. Ruto should also tame this man,” Mungai said.
