Moses Kuria: I really liked Raila’s speech in Bondo

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria made several hateful remarks against Raila Odinga and his wife Ida Odinga, but caught the eyes of many Kenyans on social media after saying that he really liked National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga’s speech in Bondo.

“I really liked Raila's speech in Bondo. Do not beat up Kikuyus, Kisiis and Somali businesspeople in Bondo. I think that’s statesmanship. Now also tell them not to demonstrate with rocks. Tell them not to attack police stations because if they do so, predictably and invariably they will be putting themselves in harm's way. Nonetheless it was a good start. I want to remind the people of Kiambu that Luos and other communities living with us are our brothers and sisters. They have the right to vote for Raila or Uhuru just like you. Let’s keep the peace,” Moses Kuria posted on his Facebook page.

On October 7, Moses Kuria was summoned by the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) over hate speech remarks made on September 25 against Raila Odinga and his supporters.

According to NCIC, the Gatundu South MP asked the Inspector General of Police, Joseph Boinnet, to shoot dead Raila and NASA supporters who would break the law during anti-IEBC protests.

On September 17, Moses Kuria had posted on his Facebook page saying that they will put Raila under house arrest if he tried to stop the repeat presidential election.

“If Raila tries to stop us from voting on 17th October, we will place him under house arrest just the way we did to Jaramogi," Moses Kuria posted on his Facebook page.

Some Kenyans on social media have however congratulated the Gatundu South MP after what he said on his Facebook post.
