Michael Waititu, the son of the late Juja MP Francis Waititu, has come to the defense of his mother against statements uttered by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria.

In a statement on Facebook, Michael Waititu accused the lawmaker of disrespecting his family, specifically his mother Susan Waititu, who is vying for the Juja Parliamentary seat under the Jubilee ticket.

"Please respect our late father. He was a dignified man and a political force to reckon with. That is definitely the reason his wife (My Mother) Hon. Susan Njeri Waititu is a defending force of his legacy and a threat to your Party Candidate," he stated.

"I wonder how your wife feels when he sees your posts against Widows as a husband and a father to her children. You are a disgrace to Society and Mature Men," he added.

In addition, Michael alleged that his late father had supported Kuria's candidature in 2014.

"You came to our home pretending to be mourning our father... It's now clear you only came to confirm his death," he added.

Kuria had earlier faulted Susan for vying, comparing her to other widows who had not followed into the footsteps of their husbands.

"Dematthew's wives did not become musicians when he died why should Wakupee's wife become an MP?" Kuria questioned.

Kuria's People’s Empowerment Party has fronted George Koimburi as a candidate in the by-election which is scheduled for May 18.

The seat fell vacant following the death of Francis Munyua known to many as Wakapee.

He died on Monday, February 22,  while receiving treatment at the MP Shah Hospital in Nairobi. 

The MP had been fighting brain cancer since his diagnosis in 2017.
