Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria has revealed plans to launch more business chapters to assist police in securing businesses during National Super Alliance (NASA) anti-IEBC demonstrations.
Speaking in Murang’a County during Jubilee Party’s Mbele Iko Sawa campaigns on Wednesday, Kuria lauded the business people for maintaining law and order during NASA protests in Nairobi.
The MP stated that he would ensure the business chapters are introduced in other counties.
Kuria was accompanied by Murang’a Women Representative Sabina Chege, Nominated MP Julius Sankok, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and former MPs Danson Mungatana (Garsen) and Ababu Namwamba (Bundalangi)
“We shall introduce them even in NASA strongholds to make sure that businesses in those areas are not disrupted,” Kuria stated.
Members of the Nairobi Business Community, formerly Gema Business Community, have come out in large numbers to counter Opposition supporters, who they accused of plans to destroy their investments during the demonstrations.
The community’s chairman Wilfred Kamau maintained they would join forces with Jubilee supporters from neighbouring counties to counter the protests.
NASA, however, dismissed the group, claiming it was an extension of the outlawed Mungiki sect.
The Kenya Private Sector Alliance (Kepsa) also denounced the group stating that none of their members were registered with or affiliated to it.

Kuria, however, defended the members, saying its sole purpose was to stand up for the interests of “the majority”.
