It has been two days since the controversial Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria went missing.
On Friday, Kuria’s friend and former State House operative Dennis Itumbi posted that the MP disappeared shortly after visiting Kenyans who had been evicted from their houses in Kariobangi, Nairobi.
Uhuru’s Member of Parliament cussed the State after an inhumane act that left more than 5,000 residents not only spending cold nights outside but also at a high risk of contracting the deadly Chinese Virus.
Kuria was in the company of Kiharu counterpart Ndindi Nyoro.
This government must STOP this brutality against its people in Kariobangi. We can no longer continue like this as a country! The kind of arrogance being exhibited by this insensitive government is both diabolical and stupid!. We are African and Africa is our Business. pic.twitter.com/FjcVpMs34s

On the same Friday, Itumbi called on the police to come out clean on Kuria’s whereabouts, asking them to confirm if the lawmaker had been arrested.
Itumbi said attempts to reach the MP were futile as his phone was off and his family didn’t know about his whereabouts.
Kapsaret MP Oscar Sudi yesterday alleged that the National power outage was a States plan to make sure the public remins in the dark on Kuria’s whereabouts.

Update:
Yesternight, the former Director of Digital Innovations and Diaspora Communications at the State House who’s now an active Pig farmer said that Moses Kuria was a wanted man before he went missing.
In a Facebook post, Itumbi claimed that there was an order to arrest both Kuria and Nyoro.
Itumbi asked the police to once again confirm if the legislator is behind bars and where he is being held.
“The last meeting that Hon. Moses Kuria and Ndindi Nyoro attended was in Kariobangi, Nairobi. That as Nairobi MPs were being told in a Harambee House meeting that there was money from World Bank and that is why Houses had to be demolished, ” Itumbi wrote.
“There was an order to arrest the two MPs, which was done on phone, in their presence. I ask, once again, is Hon.Moses Kuria under arrest? If yes, where is he being held? On what charges?”
Nyoro, who Itumbi also claimed was targeted by police is, however, a free man and continues to condemn the government’s move to evict Kariobangi residents from their houses amid the Coronavirus pandemic.
Before disappearing, Kuria had criticized President Uhuru Kenyatta for ignoring the cries of the poor as his men excuted the Kariobangi menace.
“I understand that the Kariobangi Sewage evictions are meant to clear the land to set up sewage disposal for an ambitious forthcoming ultra-modern city project. But for crying out loud, it’s not that the ultra-modern city project is being built tomorrow, ” he wrote on Facebook.
“How does one reconcile their conscience to see women and children evicted when they are suffering from lack of money, acute food shortage, unforgiving rains and battling with Coronavirus? How does it benefit you to own the whole world and lose your soul? You will burn in hell.
There has been mixed reactions on social media on the whole Missing Kuria issue. Some people expressing their worst fears and praying for God to save his poor soul wherever he is
Others, however, expressed their reservations saying the Deputy President William Ruto’s ally may be in hiding, just as his Mumias counterpart Benjamin Washiali who was reported missing prior to January 18, 2020, Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) rally in Kakamega only to reappear a day later
Here are a few samples.
This Moses kuria issue, perhaps it is time for the IG and the DCI to come forth and say something.
Alot of anxiety is on the surface.— COmbeta (@OmbetaC) May 10, 2020

On Moses Kuria, I will leave you with a quote from Niccolò Machiavelli ''Never attempt to win by force what can be won by deception." #FreeMosesKuria
