Moses Kuria Explains Why Mt Kenya Leaders Are Choosing Ruto [VIDEO]

Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, on the night of Sunday, October 6, shed light on the apparent shifting of allegiances by leaders drawn from the Mt Kenya region.

During a sit-down with show-host Anne Kiguta on K24 TV's Punchline, the vocal politician claimed that most of the leaders were increasingly siding with DP William Ruto and not President Uhuru Kenyatta.

This, he continued, was because many people found the Rift Valley politician more accessible than the president despite him hailing from the region.

He also added that the leaders from the region find "love" in the deputy president.

"Looking at a region so endowed in terms of political strength and many other issues but now horribly divided, it is a pity. (it is divided by the) so-called kieleweke and tangatanga.

"Most of them, from what I discern, are saying that they are going to where they find love. I think he showers them with love," disclosed Kuria.

"So you are saying that leaders are gravitating towards the deputy president because of access and love?" posed Kiguta to which Kuria comfortably answered in the affirmative.

The lawmaker further compared the current government to that of former President Mwai Kibaki arguing that today's mechanisms are not as strong.

"It is not accessibility, it is a lack of alternative mechanisms. I was in this government during Kibaki's time and nobody bothered to look for the president.

"At that time, Ambassador Muthaura could solve 70 per cent of the problems," he argued.

Ruto reportedly upped his visits to the Central region to solidify his political armor in readiness for the 2022 presidential battle.
