Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria was conspicuously absent during a meeting between Deputy President William Ruto and Raymond Kuria.
Raymond was a People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) candidate for the upcoming Kiambaa by-elections before Moses Kuria and DP Ruto agreed to field a UDA candidate John Njuguna Wanjiku.
“Yesterday I held extensive discussions with my boss and friend H.E Dr. William Ruto on this matter. For the unity of the Hustler Nation, PEP will not be fielding a candidate for the Kiambaa by-election,” Kuria had announced.
On Tuesday, May 25, 2021, Raymond and a team from Kiambaa constituency met the Deputy President at his home in Karen, Nairobi. However, People’s Empowerment Party (PEP) leader Moses Kuria was nowhere to be seen.
This is the second time that Kuria has missed to attend Ruto’s meeting. On May 21, 2021, the Juja parliamentary MP-elect George Koimburi met with the DP without the company of Kuria.
PEP candidate, Koimburi got a landslide win in the Juja by-elections on the PEP candidate. The legislator was credited with the triumph as he led the Juja election.
Kuria had acknowledged that there was bad blood between him and Mathira Member of Parliament Rigathi Gachagua and Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichungwa during the recent by-elections.
“PEP’s message of hope. and renewal has been endorsed by
the voters of Gaturi Ward in Muranga on 15th December 2020 and Juja constituency
on 18th May 2021. We wanted to present this message for approval by the people
of Kiambaa Constituency on the 15th of July. However, this did not go down very
well with my colleagues particularly Rigathi Gachagua and Kimani Ichungwa.
“I take this opportunity to offer my profuse apologies
to Hon Raymond Kuria, the people of Kiambaa and all PEP members who undoubtedly
will be disappointed with this decision,” Kuria stated.
