“Moses Kuria has left the building mid interview,” tweeted Citizen reporter Willis Raburu.
That was the situation last evening as the Gatundu South MP walked out of an interview with TV anchor Hussein Mohammed.
Kuria had been asked to shed light on the incitement allegations leveled against him based on a clip showing him allegedly inciting his constituents.
In the clip, he is captured urging the people to slash anyone opposed to the NYS projects. Those utterances angered the Kenyan public and prompted condemnation from National Cohesion and Integration Committee.
But during last evening's interview Kuria insisted that the media was showing selectively edited footage. He challenged the media house to show the full footage claiming that the clip doing rounds is prejudiced.

“I have got a case in court and this edited footage is going to prejudice the case,” Kuria said.
When Hussein insisted on playing the clip, the flustered MP walked out of the interview.
