Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria took a swipe at Advocate and Law Society of Kenya Member Edwin Sifuna after it was reported that National Resistance Movement (NRM) self-proclaimed General Miguna Miguna has suffered an Asthma attack.
On his Twitter page on Sunday, February 4, Sifuna informed the public that Miguna had indeed suffered from an Asthma attack but the OCS at Lari police station was too hostile to let him pass an inhaler to the ailing general.
Its true. We recieved info that Miguna has suffered an Asthma attack. I have with me an inhaler but the OCS has become hostile. He wont let me see my client to give him the medication. #FreeMigunaMigunaNow #freemigunamiguna https://t.co/K6pQnyz3SG— Edwin Sifuna (@edwinsifuna) February 4, 2018
Moses Kuria replied to the tweet, asking Sifuna to ‘Inhale of his behalf’ (Miguna’s) since lawyers were meant to represent people.
Inhale on his behalf. That is why we hire lawyers. To represent us

Thank you. Nobody will save a brainwashed group to understand that the enemy we have can only be solved by us "people". When we expect someone like Moses kuria to think on behalf of a group, we are certainly doomed.— J o h n i e (@JohnieMuiah) February 6, 2018
And if you didn't know, Moses Kuria SUCCEEDED Nicholas Biwott if you know what I mean.#MigunaCharged #FreeMigunaMigunaNow— The Big Bill (@TheBigBillKe) February 6, 2018

Even Prof. Wangare Maathai came from the same region as Moses Kuria! There is definitely nothing one can do to salvage wrecks like Tuju & Kuria, et al!— M Onduko (@monduko) February 6, 2018
I don’t support Moses Kuria because he is a tribal bigot and ethnic supremacist but I will never advocate for him to be captured illegally and his house bombed however much I don’t support his ideology and I will defend his rights when that is done

You know why they do it? Because we only protest when "our" politician is arrested.
How many poor Kenyans have stayed in remand for years without their cases heard? Thousands? Anyone cares? No!
We only complain when our "Miguna Miguna" or our "Moses Kuria" is arrested— Wangai (@ItsWangai) February 5, 2018
