Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria claims he once rescued President Kenyatta from being strangled by Miguna Miguna.
Kuria in an interview with Tuko said the incident happened at Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) during tallying of votes for the disputed 2007 presidential election.
He said Miguna grabbed Uhuru by the neck as ODM and PNU factions confronted each other over election’s results. When the strangling intensified, Kuria says he stepped in and punched Miguna to let go of Uhuru.
“The chaos that was in KICC for those four days…you guys will never know what was going on…you may want to know that Miguna Miguna was strangling Uhuru physically. I don’t know where I got the strength to box that giant,” Kuria said.
Uhuru and Kuria were part of former President Mwai Kibaki’s campaign team in 2007 while Miguna was on ODM leader Raila Odinga’s side.
During the interview, Kuria also discussed being denied to access State House for Kibaki’s swearing-in after Kibaki was declared the winner of the election. He says he was forced to hide inside Martha Karua’s car boot. “I left for State House for the then president Mwai Kibaki’s swearing-in Martha Karua’s car boot. Even the late IEBC chairman Samuel Kivuitu had a challenge in accessing State House from KICC,” he added.
