A photo of Gatundu MP Moses Kuria and Deputy President William Ruto that has been widely circulated, which has been captioned, president and prime minister, was not from a political meeting.
Kenyans.co.ke has reliably learnt that Deputy President William Ruto was one of the main guests at his friend's wedding which took place on Friday, November 29, 2019.
The private ceremony was held at Greens Golf Resort in Thika.
Elgeyo Marakwet Senator, Kipchumba Murkomen, Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot and Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria accompanied the DP to the event.
Other images from the private ceremony show Ruto interacting with attendees and taking selfies with them.
The leaders were also given an opportunity to address the gathering.
From the viral photo, Kenyans wondered whether Kuria had joined the Ruto bandwagon. Some went on to question his allegiance to President Uhuru Kenyatta.
"You (Kuria) a big No. We can't have you, a hatred monger as a top leader in Kenya. If Ruto's presidency would make you PM, I'd rather denounce supporting him. You don't even deserve to be an MCA. No offence sir but just stick to the precincts of Gatundu," Blessed Son lashed out.
"Jubilee Government has failed to deliver. You have seen it cripple yet you are competing for a sit that currently is occupied," Mimi Kevin wondered.
However, some defended the MP, stating that he was bitter with the BBI.
"Guys let us respect Kuria's position. Remember the BBI recommends that the PM must be an elected MP. If Kenyatta wants to be a PM because he can't vie for the president's position anymore, he'll have to vie for Gatundu South constituency to be an MP. The only option that Kuria has is to seek alliance from a different camp," Ole Nzuki argued.
On Wednesday, November 27, Kuria vowed to block a special task force that is set to be put in place by President Uhuru Kenyatta. According to his Facebook post, the legislator vehemently resisted the formation of a committee of experts that is set to look into the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) report.
