Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has expressed his displeasure towards some leaders he said, have been warning a section of Rift Valley residents that they have to reciprocate in the 2022 elections by standing with Deputy President Dr William Samoei Ruto.
Speaking in Nakuru during a fund raiser, Kuria warning the leaders who have been intimidating residents while preaching the Tanga Tanga gospel.
“Leaders should not intimidate other communities that there will be violence should they not support Ruto’s 2022 bid. That is not wise,” said Mr Kuria.
Kuria’s comments made Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri to quickly dismiss the assertion, saying no one was being intimidated with violence should they fail to vote for Ruto.
“I want to dissociate myself from sentiments by Kuria. What he has said in this meeting is his own views and I should not be associated with that,” he said.
In the same meeting at Wakulima market in Nakuru, Senate Majority Leader Kipchumba Murkomen said talks on whether Ruto should become the President or not is a non-issue.
Murkomen said if defeated, the DP would retire, warning those saying ‘something will happen if he does not become the president’.
Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata said President Kenyatta and Ruto were still best friends.
Senator Susan Kihika said Jubilee leaders were ready to deal with outsiders who want to bring chaos in the party.
