TBT! The Day David Murathe Resigned as Gatanga MP

The media was awash with reports on Thursday that Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria had tendered his resignation to the national assembly speaker Justin Muturi.

Even though Kuria has come out to deny those claims, reliable sources from the speaker’s office have revealed that the embattled politician actually delivered his resignation letter on Thursday afternoon.

It has also been revealed that president Uhuru Kenyatta’s allies successfully convinced Kuria to withdraw his resignation. Our sources intimated to us that senior  Jubilee officials and State House operatives asked Kuria not to resign yet.

Speaking at a presser on Thursday, Kuria denied the reports of his resignation. He said some people whom he did not mention have had selfish objectives and have been threatening his life.

“Those with selfish objectives and who have been jumping up and down with threats over my life details with which I have shared with the DCI who is my friend and a person with the capacity to act will work on it,” he said.

The drama reminds us of another controversial Mt. Kenya politician who resigned. Former Jubilee vice-chairman David Murathe had also allegedly tendered his resignation as Gatanga MP in 1997 then disowned the letter given to the speaker saying it was forged.

Murathe resigned as the Jubileee Vice Chair last weekend. We hope he will not deny the resignation again.
