Gatundu South legislator Moses Kuria on Saturday, January 11, cried out to President Uhuru Kenyatta after securing his release from police custody.
In a video seen by Kenyans.co.ke, Kuria lamented that his arrest on January 10, 2020, was motivated by his affiliations with Deputy President William Ruto.
This, he stated, pitted him against the presidential ambitions of ODM leader Raila Odinga, Interior CS Fred Matiang'i and Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru.
"I want to send a humble appeal to the president. You are in a polygamous family. Be even-handed on everyone. Let Raila, Matiang'i and Waiguru camp play their game and let the other one led by DP Ruto play our game, and then we will meet in the grassroots," he stated.
Kuria asserted the seemingly new alliance led by Odinga, Waiguru and Matiang'i would deter him from his loyalty to the DP William Ruto-led formation.
"I have no shame or guilt to say that in this country, we are headed for elections next year but one, and it is more natural that we are going to have formations. What happened yesterday was the formation of the Raila-Matiang'i-Waiguru formation that came out of Kisii. What happened was the launch of their presidential campaigns," Kuria alleged.
He dared CS Matiang'i to order his arrest again if he thought he could force him out of DP William Ruto's camp.
"We are all in a formation and are seeking for power. We are going to form the next government in 2022, and we will be in the State House. We have no regrets about that," he stated.
Moses Kuria was arrested on Friday, January 10, on alleged assault charges after Kiambu activist, Joyce Wanja, accused him of assaulting her after an interview with Royal Media Services' Inooro TV.
According to media reports, he was released on a Ksh20, 000 cash bail instead of Ksh50,000 which the court had granted.
