In what appears to be a battle to show who’s boss, Moses Kuria’s billboard was torn asunder ahead of the 6th devolution conference in Kirinyaga.
Kuria’s billboard was designed to welcome visitors to the 6th Devolution Conference in Kirinyaga County.
On his Facebook page, Kuria expressed his anger following the vandalisation.
“So someone has pulled down my billboard at Delmonte in Murang’a County. Will you also pull my presidential bid?” he posed.
Kuria learnt about the pull down of the banner on his way to Margret Wangechi’s burial, the mother to Murang’a Senator Irungu Kang’ata.
Speaking at St Joseph the Worker catholic church, where the funeral was presided over, Kuria stated the billboard would be replaced and guarded.
Kuria claimed it was a planned move stating billboards placed in other parts of Kiambu and Nyeri Counties were intact.
“I left it to the billboard agency to report to the police as I make arrangements for its replacement,” he stated.
In October 2018, the MP indicated that his name would be in the presidential ballot paper come 2022 and he would not throw his weight behind other candidates.
He added his candidature will be driven by a resolve to address challenges facing Kenyans, including youth unemployment, fighting tribalism and ensuring effective service delivery.
