The MP directed his electric remarks to President Uhuru Kenyatta during a rally in Gatundu.

Outspoken Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria on Friday elicited mixed reactions among a section of Kenyans after uttering unprintable remarks in his constituency.

Speaking during a rally in Gatundu, the MP criticized President Uhuru Kenyatta for endorsing ODM leader Raila Odinga for the presidency in the upcoming August polls.

The vocal lawmaker did not mince his words as he directly hit at the President saying that he will get a curse for supporting the former Prime Minister.

"In 1969 there was an oath taken in Gatundu. Uhuru will get a curse from his father for supporting uncircumcised man," Moses Kuria told a charged crowd.

Kuria made some remarks that seemed to target a particular community in Kenya which irked netizens on social media. 

His words sent social media into a frenzy on Friday as many users rebuked the remarks by the legislator.

Below are a few reactions captured by Nairobi Leo.


Meanwhile, Moses Kuria has recently been in the headlines over his electric remarks. During UDA’s National Delegates Conference (NDC), Kuria appeared to suggest that they (Jubilee) rigged in President Kenyatta.

The remarks caught the attention of the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) which affirmed its decision to summon the lawmaker.

However, Kuria came out to defend himself, saying that he was misunderstood. He stated on his  Facebook page that he meant ‘kuimbia’ (sing) instead of ‘kuibia kura’ (rigging votes).
