Has Moses Kuria cowed police into submission, inaction?

I’m ashamed that my home town of Gatundu South is represented by Moses Kuria.

I really am. I used to wonder how vicious he could be, judging from the violence that dripped from his newspaper columns.

Now Kenyans know. He is a loose tongue who should be locked up. But will he? Well, I suspect that every time Kuria opens his mouth to spit his venom that he is likely to get away with his crime.

After all, he has gotten away in the past, and he is likely to get away in the future. Our Constitution evidently did not have the Kurias of this world in mind when it spelled out the severe sanctions for the sort of breaches that Kuria makes with reckless abandon.

Kuria is so violent, when he ran for office in Gatundu, everyone was cowed into submission. No one was willing to run against him. The question is, why?

Kuria has said National Youth Service is the militia to defend his development projects and those of his President in Gatundu.

What’s the President saying? Isn’t his loud silence quite telling? And what are the police doing about Kuria’s threat? And what about the Director of Public Prosecutions? Don’t tell me all have been cowed into silence.
