Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has announced that he’ll not use English in National Assembly anymore, citing the recent coronation of Speaker Justin Muturi as Mt Kenya Spokesperson.

In an interview on Tuesday night, Kuria noted that going forward all his submissions in Parliament will be in his native Kikuyu language.

According to Kuria, since Speaker Muturi is his boss in the community, he has no obligation addressing him and the House in English.

“I was looking for a chance to speak and I did not get it. When Parliament resumes I will address this issue and I will address the Speaker in Kikuyu because he is now my boss within the community. I will never address Parliament in English again,” Kuria said.

He hit out the Speaker for accepting to be crowned a community spokesperson, arguing that it is inappropriate since Muturi is the leader of an arm of government, and ought to be impartial in political matters.

“Parliament took an adjournment motion. Can you imagine Parliament taking an adjournment session to congratulate the speaker for being appointed a tribal spokesperson?

“You are number three in the pecking order of this country. And when the house adjourned to congratulate him, it meant that (the coronation) was more important a role for him than running Parliament,” Kuria opined.

Muturi was crowned the Mt Kenya spokesperson over the weekend. Speaking after the event, the National Assembly Speaker noted that he was honored to be bestowed with the huge role.

““I will stand and be the voice of the people from this region and find ways of bridging the rifts which have been there. This is one big community and there should be no divisions amongst us,” he said.
