VIDEO: Moses Kuria Speaks About Raila's Assassination

Controversial Member of Parliament Moses Kuria has spoken about the "assassination" of CORD leader Raila Odinga.

Speaking in Kasarani on Sunday, Mr Kuria who was addressing the gathering in Kikuyu stated that Odinga was a "threat to the nation" and should not be allowed to trouble the country forever.

In the clip that has since gone viral on social media, Kuria states: “Nyumba ni murathikiriria? Nindiraheiruo wira nimukuona ta nguhota? Matige guitigira, Muthama, na Orengo na nyina moke othe. Ni mui gitumi ni kii? No matume kimudu, giuke na mucinga, Raila rii rithathi ya mutwe akue mauge ni nii.No emenyerere, ona bebe no arie, tutigutorio thinaine ni mundu umue. Na arie bebe tumuthike jumatatu iria inge, maikie mahiga wiki imue na Kenya ithii na mbere . Okoruo ni haro me kwenda niyo me kuona. Muire raila ona bebe no arie na thii ihore na tuthii na no menda thayu moke tuarie tuikare wega IEBC yenda guthii ithii okoruo tii uguo mathii ma kiumaga”.

In a relative translation… "My people are you listening to me, I was appointed to speak with these people. Do you think I will deliver? They shouldn’t fear in fact let Orengo, Muthama and their mothers come. They want to stage a gunman tasked to kill Raila and then blame it on me. But he should be careful because he can still bite the bullet. We won’t be troubled by one person forever. He can as well bite the bullet and we bury him next Monday. His protesters will throw stones for just one week and life continues. If it’s war they want it’s what they’ll get. Tell Raila he can bite the bullet but if they want peace they should come and let us negotiate".

At the same event, Kabete MP Ferdinand Waititu threatened that they could take unspecified action on CORD supporters who would dare throw stones during protests in Nairobi.

Kuria and Waititu are not new to controversy, as they have previously been charged in court for sentiments that amounted to hate speech and incitement to violence.

The latest remarks by the two lawmakers have sparked condemnation on social media with many calling for their arrest under hashtag #StopUhurusWarDogs.

Meanwhile, police have announced that they are studying the video clips showing MPs Kuria and Waititu making the inflammatory remarks.
